Well I am sorry to say, the car you are looking for no longer exists, at least at any kind of reasonable price, considering what needs to be done to make it a decent car. Just like 49-51 Merc 2drs, or Model A's, or 32-40 Fords, or any other desirable cars. I first wanted (8 years ago) a 55 Chevy, as my retirement project, and ... well ... no. Thankfully I found my 56 Canadian Pontiac, which was undervalued, yet even better than a 55-7 Chevy (since all running gear is available at reasonable prices but it looks even better than the Chevy, especially the dashboard - and the hood, and the headlights, and the rear quarters, and the rear bumper, and ...).

My

btw love your gasser, maybe some day I will get the balls to put a straight axle under my front end.

Yes I sold the Nomad gasser to a wealthy car collector. Since then helped build a 1962 Belair post straight axle patina gasser.

Terry, any luck so far.

Thanks for the replies. Went in a totally different direction and bought a 59 El Camino. Will make a cool "Patina Shop Truck".

Will post pics soon.

 I did a frame on with mine, if you need any pics or help with the 59 Elco (you didn't say if it was mint or a major project).

 I THINK I AM IN LOVE. What a B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. 59 El Camino.

The elco trim is hard to find and expensive so you are lucky to have it complete. All the elco only trim is also stainless, so great to work with compared to chrome or anodized. Thanks for comments on the 59, I sold it. I'd own another 59 though, love the fins, it will make a great shop truck. Needs a 348 4 speed to be a real truck?
