I found my '55
Chevy in a newspaper ad in 1992. The car was Silver/Dark Gray. I showed it for one year
like that, then Steve Yoder, at his Sharon Center, Iowa body shop changed the color to an
undercoat of light blue with a '61 Chevy White/Roman Red paint job. The Interior and trunk
both have a Ciadella '61 Chevy design in Red & White. The car is powered by a
355 with a Saginaw 3-speed with Hurst shifter and a 3.08 rearend gear. |

We bought our '56 Bel Air in
December of 1990. I decided to fix it up as a '50's-'60's mild custom. The motor is a
"tri-power" topped 327, backed up by a 400 tranny. The hood was shaved and
louvered. It also features a 1960 Impala steering wheel, one-piece front bumper and a
station wagon rear bumper. Future plans include Tuck-n-Roll upholstery, frenched antenna
and shaved door handles. |

After
years of searching for a nice, rust-free '57 hardtop, I came across this super clean Bel
Air 2 door sedan. It was about two miles from my home and had been owned for 20 years by
another member of CCI. It was not quite what I wanted, but it was so clean and original
that I decided to go for it. I assured the owner I would give it a good home and make it
even better. |

| I acquired my '55
beauty, this Emerald Green/Cream 2-door post, through a very good friend. It features a
4-speed T-10, 355 cu., Weld wheels and Delray interior. This classic was sold to me on the
spot for a very reasonable price. My future plans for it include new paint and hood
louvers. My wife and I enjoy crusing on weekends very much. My Classic was also on the
1995 HACCC T-Shirt and dash plaque for our car show. |

On a cold,
10-below-zero New Years day in 1993, we bought our '56 Nomad. We drove it home that day
from Illinois. It took four quarts of oil to get it home , because of a cracked piston
ring, but we made it. In July of '93, I overhauled the 327 after boring the block to .030
over and added new pistons and valves. It took all winter to install a new steering sector
and column kit, and install the motor. The car also has AM Racing "Outlaw II"
wheels and BFG TA radials, JVC Sound System. |

| It all started back
in High School in '62. My first car was a '57 Chevy Convertible. After I served for Uncle
Sam, and four children later, my wife Sheila and I found a "tired" 1957
"150" 2-door sedan we could afford. I had the opportunity to obtain a 1957
fuel-injected Corvette engine. It took two years for it's restoration - But, it ws worth
it! |

I bought my Nomad
in 1971 from my brother in San Francisco, CA. for $20.00. We brought it back to Iowa in 1975. Slowly, we updated the car as the
money became available. This '56 has a 327 with a Turbo 350 trans., 10-bolt rear-end and
power disc brakes. The Nomad has been driven to both coasts and many states in between. |
