You did a great job! The taillights (Corvette or Cadillac or ??), the gorgeous paint job (wonderful colors!) the antenna treatment, the shaved hood and last but not least, those '57 Caddy wheel covers. Did you do all of the work yourself? Because if you did, you get an A. Can't see much of the interior. Is it done? Is it white leather? Stick six? It's beautiful! Show us more.

Beautiful shooting - and they sure don't design cars with an impact like this one anymore 🏆🥇🏆

Very nice, great colors, tail lights great choice. A "convertible hard top". I'm dating myself with an ancient term like that. But a fine example of the term. I had a '52 long long ago.

Nice looking. Did you put a little muscle in it?

I knew a guy who had a '51 hardtop back in the '50s. His was the only one ('51) that I had ever seen. They must have been rare. Nice job on this one, I like the taillight treatment.

I must amit, I bought it about 80% done . Friend of mine for the past 22 years,who has done over 50 total restorations was building it for his wife when she unexpectedly die with the anesthesia preparing for heart surgery.
He lost interest after that and I bought it last summer I finish it.
Maroon with cream color top, cream interior, 327 cu.in , powerglide trans , everything new or rebuilt.
I'll have to get some more pics. I have only driven it about 15 miles .
I have tons of pics of my 1950 Chevy , more to come.
Thank you

Style, class, majesty: this design is way much "eye catching" than modern cars are

Sweet machine! My best friend in high school had a burgundy top/black bottom one, but no where near as cool as yours.

I've been partial toward the early 50s Chevys ever since I had a '54 sedan back in HS.
