I need to make room.  This car has not been restored !  it is a well kept all its life kind of car. 

I spent all last summer touching up the ORIGINAL black lacquer on this car.  yes, the paint is as nice as it looks.  the car still received a professional shampooing inside .  turned out great, carpets, door panels, and seats.   I have got the car going after long term storage , went thru the brakes, fuel, carb, battery, fluids, etc. 

Ready to use, or take on to the next level.  i have almost 40 in this, i am offering here for 30, now 25,ooo.   i think that is a sufficient haircut for me and puts the next caretaker in a good position to continue improving the quality of this car.

Pretty, I might know someone but I'd need to see more photos and also get an idea of what you want for her.

I think I still have a spare set of hub caps for this '56. They should fit as long as the original "reverse, deep-dish" steel rims are on the car. Have a set of four rims as well. Clay/Lexi

  Where is this car located, and do you know the history, was it ever run in the snow/salt slush?
 Does it have any rust to speak of?

car is located in north alabama.  i purchased it from new jersey.  i believe it to have been in storage a long time indoors based on the condition. 

It is not rusty, does not show signs of winter time use.  It could definitely use a solid steam clean and even a dry ice blast underneath to clean things up. 

i am pretty picky.  this car is especially nice for an unrestored example at its age.  ill be glad to take /post more photos.  if you will message me your contact info, ill be glad to get in touch with you
