Cool ride
congrats on getting a great deal too

Your dad will love it I'm sure
good son

I'm partial to the 57's & my dad loves the 55's
he always wanted one, since when he was senior,
it was the new cool car...
I was going to get him one & he found out, somehow {?}
He told me not to spend the $$$, to use it on my own stuff,
didn't want another vehicle etc., so I got him some stuff for his RV...

Like the paint and the valve covers.
They radiator has a Mopar-esc look to it

Of the tri 5 Chevy's, I like the 56s best - love the fuel filler and I think the 55/56 body style looks a little cleaner than the 57s.

Looks like you got a great one - enjoy it!

Oh most definitely it's a big car she needs a big block and this thing is built with a beautiful lope of the cam. She sounds Purdy
