"55 Again" Photoshoot - 4/3/10

HKYStormFront · 04-08-2010, 11:02 AM

this past weekend over Easter i went home to visit with the family. my dad decided it would be a good time for me to get some shots of his father's '55 Bel Air. he also wanted a few shots of him with the car so please just ignore those

also, when dad bought this car for papaw, it was fire engine red and pearl white. papaw has since had it painted the original (albeit a bit dull) colors that his '55 bel air was back then. more of an orange-ish red and a really light tan, not solid white.

album (note that for now it is hidden from the main page since my family checks my site frequently and only a few know about this shoot):

Looks nice, love that color combo

So it's not hugger orange? or international orange?

The seats look comfy too.

Friend's dad had a 55 like that, but it had one-piece power windows, a TPI motor, and a Raptor tranny

EDIT: Just remembered that I have a friend working on a sweeeeeeeeeeeeet custom chevy. I'll see if he'll allow me to post some pics and stats. Might be a secret project, not sure.

no the color ends with "red" in the name, i can't remember the exact wording though. i'd love to see the "project" i've got a soft spot for 55-57 chevy's
