Well............. You may be right. It's the Bel Air side view and tail lights on a 1956 I really like. I agree, the first year,'55 nose is much cleaner. Or use a '57 nose and confuse even more people.
I wanted a 1955 Chevy sedan delivery. After settling for a 1955 2-dr wagon I found a sedan delivery within months. By then I'd aslo bought a 1949 Ford and a 1957 Chevy 2-dr ht. I had no room or money for the sedan delivery. Sometimes life ain't fair or karma does't work.
Back in those days I pumped gas at a filling station after my day job. They began hidding gas caps behind tail lights, licensse plates, moving them from side to side, and even putting some in the bonnet up front. All to confuse us poor underpaid gas jockies. Besides that American cars didn't have a bonnet!
