    This reminds me when I was in Indy one year during the Good Guys or Super Chevy Sunday (some event) and I was washing my car and guy in the bay next to me was washing a '57 that looked a lot like this one. He had a mild small block that sounded really good, 3.73 gears, 4-speed. Body was stock but he had Crager SS wheels. Nice stance, nice sound, not a screamer, but he drove it quite some distance and he said it drives real nice. Ever since that encounter I thought if I would ever build an older hot rod, I would do it along those lines.

    That's what it was; Super Chevy Show. I'm getting old. I remember how they sectioned off the cars according to model. After awhile they all blended together. I mean after you see a couple hundred Nova's it takes a real gem to stand out. :)

    Indy Northside `O=o-
    Our 2nd house bought in 2007 built in 1956/57. After living there a few years one of the folks who grew up in this house dropped by to ask if they could show their kids where he grew up. A few weeks later he emailed me some pics of the house as it was back then and it included this pic of the backyard and a car in driveway. Anyone recognize the model of car from just the front fender?
