In the spring of 1978 i bought a 1955 Chevrolet Del Ray club coupe from a guy who became a good friend later on. I was twenty years old and still trying to find myself but i knew one thing, i loved old cars especially old Chevrolet cars. At the time i never knew how rare and special a Del Ray club coupe was, i thought it was a 210 because it looks like a 210. It was about two years later that i realized how rare a 55 Chevy i had. The Del Ray had an all vinyl two tone interior that was totally different from all the other models. My car was a Canadian built car and it had body work done to it, some bad and some good. The 55 had a 235 six with three speed stick on the tree. This 55 other than being a very rare model (Del Ray), had no options on it and i do mean none. I bought the car with the sixties GM rally wheels on it and even then i wanted to put the stock rims and hub caps on the car. I bought four small 55 Chevy hub caps and was looking for rims before i sold the car. Even then as a punk young man, i was an original vintage car kind of guy. This 55 was really my first venture into the old car world, even though i had a 56 Chev BelAir sedan just before this. My first 56 Chev i never got on the road. This 55 Chev was my first venture into the old car world, going to car shows and connecting with other like minded folks. My very first car show with this car was the Barrie Ontario  car show and swap meet in 1978. I remember taking my baby brother Mike who was ten years old at the time with me. What a major league time warp that is. Cheers.
