Saw this ‘57 Chevy across from our local vegetable stand. A few things missing but you get those wonderful fins as a starter. Sorry about the poor resolution for reading the sign but it is cropped from 5x zoom on my iPhone 11.

All parts for a "tri-5" Chevy are available. An entire car can be built from scratch using the right catalogs. Not a problem for this one, assuming the underbody is solid. But then new floors are readily available. And frames, and....

You and me both. I bought mine for $400 and sold it for $800. Hind sight is 50/50. Could have probably sold mine for $18K or higher now.
