It's a '55
Oh yeah, '56 were square! Duh.
Covert it back to stock...add lane departure warnings, airbags, remote start, random cylinder shut-down, 360* cameras, an 11 speed transmission, alcohol detection interlock system, rear wiper and of course, a touch screen...and I might be interested.
Noooooooooooooo
Noooooooooooooo
Who dat?

56 is my favorite year. I don't know the production numbers but when I go to car shows the 56's seem more rare and hard to find. Favorite color for me is the turquoise without any white accents.
I’m not sure that’s the original chassis. Looks like a body transplant to me. I owned a ‘57.
And I agree with the above. The romance with the tri-5 was strong but dang man they are so crude by today’s standards. Give me fuel injection, rack and pinion, suspension geometry and electric wipers, airbags and crumple zones! Oh and AIR CONDITIONING. Ok well I lived without A/C for a long time - the massive floor-tube vents from the headlight cowls to the firewall were AMAZING, what were they, 5” - 6” ducts? But yeah - wonderful memories but I’m ok with the technology up to 2010. Newer tech seems to have complicated things, i say as my 3 month old Tacoma is at the dealer while the technician is speaking with “the engineers” about the trouble it’s having. DIY is getting harder and harder. The tri-5’s allowed DIY with open arms, and kinda required it.

Nice Chevy, but that looks like a rare '58 Caddy Limo in the background. I had a black one many years ago like Gram Parsons & the Flying Burritos had!
Original frame with a straight axle swap...Called Gassers.
Curious... What don't you like? This was the way qtr mile cars were built back in the day. The light, lifted front end was for weight transfer to the rear.
This photo is from the annual American Graffiti Tribute in Petaluma, CA a few years back. I will try and be there this weekend.
I agree; each to their own.

Your link doesn't work for me. The car I like along with the engine but the lifted suspension just doesn't fit the car at all. Love lifted & lowered vehicles whole hearted but this lifted set up doesn't look good. No hood on it doesn't appeal either. If this is some sort of offroad drag race car, most of the time, then I understand it may need this combination & I'd agree fine but not for street cruiser appeal. Now the black two door you posted...
56 and 57 were two of my favorites. 58 was my all time favorite.
I just don't get the 58. 56 and 55 are my favorites, in that order.
