Great car! I always loved the "hardtops" with no center pillar.

I live in a 55 & older community about 85 miles east of downtown LA on the way to Palm Springs. We starting last year having car shows every spring. I was totally amazed how many residence that live in my small community of 1290 homes that had "hot rods". Some one brought their 56 Chevy to show off. While I was shooting this event for our monthly magazine a grandson of one of the residence was admiring the 56 Chevy as was I, he must have been around 16 or 17. I told him if you could put gas in the car I'd buy it for him it didn't matter the cost. He looked at me with a strange look and anxiously proceeded to walk around the car to locate the gas cap. After about 10 minutes of fun as he drew a crowd by then with many of us seniors looking on, the kid gave up. I walk over to rear of the car twisted the tail light lock and bingo, opened the tail light to show him where the gas cap was.....good thing I probably couldn't afford the car. I never get tried of seeing restored vehicles as you've shown us. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. Beautiful ! Nice to see a original unrestored ( note primer on top and note on windshield). I wonder how many miles it has on it. I always liked a 56 style.

Oh, those oldies sure are something to wish we never sold. I had a '56 or '57 Chev Nomad ! ! ! !
It came with factory air (a chrome box in the center of the dash ), dual exhust, twin four barrel carbs. Boy, did it move!

My first car was a 56 Chevy, it was my Grandpa's. It was a 4-door with a post, black & white with the 265 V8 and "3 on the tree". I was 15 and when I was 17 I traded it in for a 1966 SS 396 Chevelle with a 4 speed. I worked summers in a local lumber mill and weekends during school pumping gas to pay for them. As the others have said, I wish I had kept both of them! Thanks for sharing KTJohnson.

Beautiful car; my Dad had one when I was growing up.

I've owned and driven a LOT of those old cars and would gladly drive a restored one in preference to the ugly clone (can't tell a Hundai from a Mercedes) from the side view of cars today. Where have the designers gone? Granted, today's cars get better gas mileage, and the engines last for hundreds of thousand miles but looks, style? Nauseating!
Yes, I am and old geezer going on 85.
