Close.....'58. LOL!

Especially bad, since you state that it's a '58 in the OP.

Nicely done!

That's the orphan Chevy. The 57 had vertical fins and the 59 had horizontal. I never liked it but glad it's coming back. That is a beautiful restoration and hope it brings you much joy.

Now that's a happy Thanksgiving! Beautiful machine.

If you get it, are you driving it back or trailering it? Not a lot of places open on a Sunday unless you're in a big town.

I'm South of Ft Worth, North of Hillsboro a few miles away from 35. If you decide to put together a list of who to call if you break down on the way home, PM me for my number. If you're close by, I might be able to help out.

Looks great TXR. Hope it all pans out.

Interestingly, the insurance for classic cars offers a LOT of coverage unheard of for regular vehicles, includin' emergency repairs, flatbed towing (guaranteed), even out of pocket hotel/food expenses - but I messaged you anyway - can't be TOO careful, and I DO appreciate the offer! Yeah - we'll be driving it back. Should be a fun trip!

LOL!!! Nah - I posted this just yesterday - we're going to look at it tomorrow, then the plan is to pick it up on the way home from Oklahoma Sunday an' head home.

So, you supposedly looked at it yesterday, what's the verdict?

Great ride, TXR! It's a beauty and not run of the mill.... very unique! Can we see the interior?

Also, welcome to the 10MPG club …… snicker!

Thanks to all the construction along 35, by the time we got there and to the bank, it was closed (literally 3 minutes too late). So, we'll meet Monday morning and complete the deal. It's not a perfect, concours-grade car by any means - but it's a nice one, and the engine sounds spot-on.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not big into classics, but that's bad ass.

Always liked the 58. Know a local fellow has one in high gloss black...even had the bumpers etc powder coated to match.....
Congrats on your find!!!!!

What a great looking ride. Feeling sad though as I just let mine go this week. It left Magnolia Monday and arrived today in snowy Duluth, MN. Had it for 19 years. Feeling happy for you!

Wow! Can't imagine the feelings as you watched the truck disappear down the highway.....hopefully, you'll find something else to fill the void!

Congrats. Nice looking '58. Makes me miss my '63 Impala convertible.
