Mister Earl said...: Wow! I'd like to see that one in person. "If you can make a better deal on a new Chevrolet anywhere, I'll give you five pounds of Hills Brothers coffee." Ellis Brooks, San Francisco. To the tune of the Dinah Shore song: "See Ellis Brooks today, for a Chevrolet, corner of Bush and Van Ness..."

Judy Williams said...: That may date pre-Dinah, but I sure do love the colors. That has to be late 40's. That's what I'd call a beast!!!; June 12, 2011 at 8:33 AM

Love the red!!! But then, I'm rather partial to red cars!!!; June 12, 2011 at 10:46 AM
Mister Earl said...: In the early 60s, for a short time, my mom had a '41 Chevy. They sold it for $50. They should have saved it for me.; June 12, 2011 at 12:49 PM

Laurie Allee said...: I spent a long time circling around this car and drooling, er, photographing it. It even had little red dice shaped caps on the tire valves.; June 15, 2011 at 10:03 PM
Patrick Gauer said...: That car has some pretty sweet restoration work done on it! It looks great, all slick and sleek as it is, and I bet that a lot of tinkering was done to get the machines under the hood in order. The whole vehicle reflects the dedication of the owner, whoever he or she is.; May 3, 2012 at 11:45 AM
