<VV> Fwd: Early 50's Chevy- a little Corvair!

[levair at aol.com]

My first car was also a 50 Chevy in 1958.
It was a 2 door fleetline(fast back). All black
   I lowered it, shaved and decked it, and removed the taillights and 
put them in the bumber via Buick bumper guards.
    The engine had dual carbs, pop up pistons, and a split exhaust 
manifold with dual steel packs.
    I also had Oldsmobile spinner hub caps.
   All thing that were right with the times.
        A 55 Chevy Belair 2 door hardtop with V8*, stick and powerpack 
was next.

Warren.

*I don't think I'm quite old enough to be your grandfather, Seth, but I 
did
own a 50 Chevy Deluxe Coach.   Was the first car I bought myself - as a
senior in H.S.  Was a great car, and I installed a crate 283 green block
(Canadian Pontiac) in it.  Later a corvette competition cam and a '57 
Chevy
tranny.   Still ran the 4:11 rear end, and had no trouble with the Ford 
of
that day!*
