56 Guy

Hello,
I am a 56 Guy and have been for a long time. When I was little (Late 60's) My parents had a 56 BelAir 2 dr HT, a 56 210 Townsman Station Wagon, and a 56 Chevy Big window Short Stepside. (A truck Dad always wanted a Cameo Box on)
I bought my first Chevy in 82. A 56 Chevy Cameo. Blew my Dad's mind!!!
When my Wife and I were engaged we bought a 56 Chevy Panel Truck. She liked vans, so we comprimised!!!
And for our 23rd anniversary This month we bought a 56 Chevy 210 Beauville 9 passenger Station Wagon.
A few years ago I ran accross a super rare (Less than 500 made) Trailorboat Teardrop Trailer at a garage sale. I couldn't pass it up!
Over the years I have had many 55-59 Chevy trucks including 2 other Cameos, and I even built a "New" truck.... a 78 Chevy.
But in the end the Three 56's and the teardrop are still here.
Plans for the wagon are restoring it to mild 60's style custom and it will be hauling the Trailorboat around.

Welcome aboard!! Some great pictures there, thanks for sharing. Always nice to see another tri-5 being fixed up.

Welcome aboard!

"You're a man of my own heart"! I have had a 55 2 door, 57 4 door sedan and two 57 wagons: a 57 2 door wagon and a 57 Nomad. Other than the Nomad, which I sold about 7 years ago, the others I owned about 40 plus years ago. They were a lot of fun; before the days of buying a "souped" up car at the dealer. We had to make our own then.

Where are you located?

Good luck with your car.
