Re: Might buy a 56
When I originally met the man that has the 56 for sale, he said it is a special car. Unfortunately he did not have the specific knowledge to elaborate on what was so special about it except for one huge detail. As I said, I was not able to see the car at that time, just a short video. So I went home with this information and started my own research. 20170621_191009.jpgNot being able to find any information on the "huge detail" he shared with me, led me to join the NCRS. For the short period of time I have been a NCRS member, it has been very eye opening as to the wealth of knowledge gathered here. So, I have recently had the opportunity to see the car and very conveniently he had a NCRS member there with him. ( Very low member # by the way). I have submitted two pictures. One is the layers of paint on the original tank cover that I talked about earlier and the second one is of the "huge detail"..... Someone out there has to know about or know how to find the original build sheet on this car, when they took it off the production line, and made it a "shop order" car. How did this car leave the factory and possibly for whom???? It seems that I might have stumbled on to a piece of lost history. The owner has had a long life with many cars and no longer has the drive to pursue the real story behind this car. My goal is to pick up where he left off and finally solve this mystery..... Thank you for taking the time.
