    Yeah! When was the last time you saw one of those restored? A friend of mine still has his '57 Bel-Air from his high school and Navy days. One day, I'm looking through a Hot Rod or other such car magazine, and I show him a '57 150 doorslammer in its launch; he told me the '150' referred to the amount of weight savings between it and a Bel Air. I know he was joking, but it seemed like it made sense anyway....

    I think this was the New York Auto Show, where they debuted the Chevrolet 265 V8, because, IIRC, the debut car was an all-gold-colored '55, and the one in the picture may be that car.

    My that is a clean looking 150. Now all I need is my time machine and a bag of 50's era 100 dollar bills.

    No, he's saying "and that reservoir right there... that's where you put the fluid for your fuel injected headlights"

    I saw one this summer at the Vintiques show. It was immaculate. Underhood was a fuel injected 265 with a supercharger. Beautiful car.

    That would make it too expensive. Rather, bring 2019 dollars and get it dirt cheap
