1955 Chevrolet Belair

[Hank70SS]

I have to say again what a beautiful car that is. We had a 55 Nomad when I was a kid. I was only 7 when my father died and the Nomad is the car I associate with him. My mother had other cars after that but they were just cars.

I still remember my father and grandfather patching the rust and repainting it. Right after that we went on a family vacation in it. We pulled into a motel parking lot and a sewer cover flipped up and mashed the rocker panel right at the front fender/door seam. Couldn't even open the driver's door. I was pretty young but I know my father was pissed after all the work they had just done on the car.
