Thanks.. I remember this 55 when I was just a kid, when i was sixteen i used to stop my truck run up the guy's driveway and peek in the windows.. this guy turned out to be my father in law years later.. I've worked on it with him over the years, this car has taken a lot of my blood sweat and tears..just to let all you car guys out there, I didn't marry her for the car I promise lol... Andy has owned this for over 35 years.. he pulled this out of the woods and has been tinkering with it for a long time.. he said it was time for this sedan to move on so it can be looked after by someone that will drive work on and love.. this rare ride. I just happened to be the lucky person...
I'm sure the color was like a off green, I could be wrong though. I was so excited to yank this car today I didn't even notice the car in the background. I will be going back to the yard this spring to grab another car. I will definitely look then. There is a old studebaker on this property to..
Notice how the tail light holes are '55 Chevy? I think GM Canada did the same thing on the '56 Pontiac sedan deliveries (used a '55 Chevy tail light hole).
'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.

So glad you cleared up the reason for marriage as that's exactly where my mind went at first
Beautiful car. I like that it has a bench seat. Most original ones that I have seen over the years had one or two very uncomfortable looking bucket seats. I wonder if the bench seat is original?
Now there is a real beauty. What motor is in that rare bird, i am going to guess a souped up Chevy small block. We need more pictures of your rare special car. Cheers.

I want to start off by saying thank you.. this site is full of beautiful and cool cars, it is the original seat for sure. Showing some age for sure. Its pretty comfortable, I drove it from Victoria to whitehorse a few years ago. The seat is pretty close to the gigantic steering wheel, it took me awhile to figure out that I had to have the window down one arm hanging out, the other arm laid across the steering wheel and that is the most comfortable way to drive the old girl...
The old bird is running a 327 with mild cam, heads out of a late
68 impala they were striped down and redone, so she doesn't mind the fuel coming out of the gas pumps. Mild high rise soon to have a new edelbrok. Still got the original egxust manifolds with true dual exhaust. She has alot of blind spots I'll tell you..
