Just watch out while crossing the street. You don't want to know what that little airplane on the hood is capable of doing to you!

those of you talking about gas(petrol) prices, it costs about $2.55 per gallon here in Texas, about 63cents per litre

the hill is really that steep at 7:40........those old chevys had gobs of torque, and a 3.55:1 reduction rearend(compared to an average of 2.6:1 these days) these cars are geared for that stuff.....ive driven a 1947(yes, 47) with the 216 blue flame, and a 3 speed manual up a hill like that feathering the clutch

Ads from back in the day when GM had 50% of the market. Now, they're down to 22% of the market, but they are managing to gain back some market share.

....low-cost motoring with new show car styling! How could you go wrong? Very cool!

The 1955 Chevrolet was all-new, from the ground up. It was an amazing achievement by Chevy General Manager Ed Cole, who literally shepherded the '55 from its design on paper, til the cars arrived at dealer's showrooms. Restored '55 Bel Air hardtops easily run $50,000 and up, so you can image the milestone these cars achieved! 1955 was the first year for a modern OHV Chevy V8, the 265 small block, which even today is a sound, durable design.

yes old cars seem built to last early aussie cars from the same period are getting similar values or more too.
