I talked with the owner of this beautiful "antique," and he said it needed some kind of bearings. Looks like new, I told him. We had a '55 Chevy Bel Air which was slightly different than this, which, I believe, is a 1957 model.
That's not an antique -- that's a classic. At least it was a classic year to graduate from high school. (At least I can remember that.) Beautiful car, fun memories!

Ouch!! So many things I knew and loved as a child are now considered antiques...((including me, sigh))
What a beautiful car.
Classic looking car, wonder how many miles it has on the clock?!
Beautiful old car. This cartoonish version works well, Lowell !
I'm glad the owner is taking care of this collectible car and I like how you've edited this photo.
What a cool find! You have used a nice technique to set it off too.
Yipes!!! I have to agree with Kay!!! And I wasn't even a "child" in 1955 -- I was in college!!!
The car is just fine, everything else needs a hand of paint...
What a beauty! It can sit on my driveway anyday, all day.
I wonder if this is the kind my dad had.
When I was in high school, several guys had cars like this. So cool....
Super nice car!! 'Cool' as one might say
