I know this stuff can be frustrating. I'm hoping that KS keeps records back that far. When I bought my 58, my 56 and my 57 (all in FL) I wrote Tallahassee for a "body file" and received all info available for each vehicle. Unfortunately FL (like quite a few other states now) only keeps records...

This goes back a coupla years but I just figgered out how to link it here... My first Special Guest: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=2528044373073

Project Creep Continues (John - that title's for you!) Finally managed to mount this gem on the Garage Mahal wall today: Got it while building was going on but never have found the time to put it up. I did test it today and it went "ding ding ding" just like it should! Now I gotta pipe the...

What Tom said is probably correct. The cap is NOT a 58, as those had only 3 "spines" as opposed to 6 on yours.

I'll wager more than the price Lance bought/sold it for!

A few of the places I've visited along the way over the years:

Thanks, Tom. My feeling is it was a GM color - and I like the "special order" in the last column!

I'm looking for the paint "offset" formula for the "blue" stripes & coves of the 56 Sebring race cars (Like this baby...) GM also used this color on the 57 race cars, too.

Nope, that ain't it...but it was the next one built...

Sure, why not?

Well, I finally did something - I had a special guest vehicle grace my garage in May. Anybody recognize this nifty Corvette? (I've tried to upload a short video but can't seem to get it to work...maybe later.)

OK, first, the side curtains had a vent wing at the front. On would push the vent wing open and reach in to grab the door latch ball. The only GM built 53s (and 54/5s for that matter) that had an outside door handle or button were Styling/Show cars. As for locking, I can't recall - I'll leave...

Well...this is what was delivered with the car...I suppose I could transfer it but I guess it's more for the owner who wants all the original documentation. I happened to have kept my VHS/DVD player/recorder; betcha you could get a VHS player real cheap at a local thrift store...:chuckle

Maybe a nice Holiday present for a friend with a 97? (Hey, it's also a good informative video - and most of it applies to the next few years' C5s as well!)

Many moons ago in college (Charlotte, NC) I owned a 57 Nomad with a 6 cyl - 3 spd. Only one with that combo I've ever seen (over the years I've seen 2 other 6 bangers, both with auto). It was a Calif car (LA assy) with the 1 pc bumper. Had the "deluxe" heater but it had a block-off plate over...

Got both - battery cut-off (thumbscrew type), and two smoke detectors in the garage (wired into the house detectors). Don't want no car-b-ques here! :eek

Mac - I disagree with you.

Thanks! (and another "special" thanks to you, John...:L) Had lotsa these -> :beer

Mike, Thanks for the gauge tip! If you browse back in this forum you'll find my original thread about the Motorhead Lounge - my garage build starting in 2007 (and continuing to this day). My big splurge: a Rotary 10000lb 2-post in-ground lift! I just got tired of doing everything on my back...

I have a Coats 20/20 in my garage! By any chance do you have any spare parts or a manual? (I need the air gauge - mine was busted long ago!) I also have a Hunter Tune-In on-the-car wheel balancer that's taking some practice to master! The old bubble balancer is much easier but not the world's...
