57 Show and tell

[Joseph T.]

This was a fun car!

Original Fuelie from western Kansas. The bottom side of the hood..still has all the vintage scare stickers when the car was drag raced.

Very Cool!

Now sitting in a Hanger in Taylor, Texas.

At least I still have Marlie the German Shepherd!

Nice! Was a fun car? When did it leave home?

Interesting the door ends are red. Was it a red car once?

Re: 57

A collector in Dodge City, Kansas bought the car in 1967 put it in his warehouse with a tarp over it ..where it sat from 67 to 1999. He died and his wife sold off the collection.

I bought the car, repainted it white, new red interior, total professional engine and FI rebuild, new exhaust etc..

Now it belongs to a friend in Texas..who by the way may be selling it as he has another 57 that I sold him which was the 1st Bloomington Survivor 57.

If you are interested e-mail me and I will give you his number.

One of the previous owners between 57 and 67 owns a vineyard.

Re: 57

FYI...notice the 58 rear lenses. Incorrect but they look great against the white paint. A popular update in the 58/59 period. The car was otherwise stock except for added traction masters...and I think the cowl vent was glassed in.

Nothing irreversible.

Nice plates too!
