This is just to embarrass everyone and show their picture. No one ever wants to have their picture taken, but my wife says I should take the obligatory photo of our group. Five couples turned up for this tour. Afterwords, we will go to the Dairy Ranch in Dorr for an ice cream and their Thursday night show-n-shine. About 40 cars were there when we arrived.
For those long trips, Paul keeps a newer car in the garage to keep the miles off of his collectibles. But this, too, is a low mileage car. Super nice and very much like new.
For you '58 Chevy fans, this is right up your alley. Paul just got it back not too long ago and he hasn't taken it for a ride yet. 348cid engine in this baby. And, we need some help here. Look at the side shot and notice the hole in the body. One on each side. Does anyone know what goes into that hole? Some decoration, emblem or something? Paul would love to know! Drop me a line!
Paul says this car is for sale, but I really wonder....does he really want to part with such a terrific car? This is one of his favorites to drive even though he says it is a bit stiff going down the road. It looks so great, who cares how stiff it is! I remember my '57 had bricks to hold the seat up. Rosie said her first '57 had a similar problem. Accelerate and the front seat would tilt back!
This '56 Chevy is quite the car, too. It completes the set of 55 thru 58. I wonder if Paul is looking for a '59? He says a 54 is out. He likes the 60 better than the 59...Come on Paul. Every one I know likes the 59 better than the 60! With just the right moves, I bet he can put a sixth car in this garage.
Paul had a number of displays of model cars. This is one of them, an original display case of all glass. Cool, my friend. Thanks for the tour. I am sure I speak for all when I say....Nice set of bowties!
