I like them, too. In 1989, while stationed in North Cacakacky, i had the chance to purchase a 70, yellow with white rally stripes, Chevelle SS Convertible with a 454 (owner's words) for $4,500. BEAUTIFUL CAR! I was just so anti chevy back then and i opted to buy a 69 Mustang grocery getter instead.

Oh, that sound you're hearing...That's my foot hitting my ass.

I can never distinguish the 54 thru 57.

H, ever seen the movie Macon County Line or Return to Macon County?

Love the car. Hate the wheels.

I saw one of those for sale online. It was Tennessee orange with white stripes. It was a kit car.

Yep. There's a million of them out there.

The sweetest Orange car I can remember was a 65/66 Mustang fastback that had several tasteful body mods. Iirc, I believe it had a modified black grille that took up the entire space between the hood and valance and had a two piece bumper. It was Orange with white highlights. Back in the 80s, it graced the cover of several magazines and was used in several advertisements. I can't find it now.

I used to hate seeing a classic modified, however, with age, I've grown to like the mods when tastefully done.

57.

Are you sure? Looking at the tail fins, it looks more like a '56. The fins on a '57 are more pronounced.

'54 and '55 had a more boxed rear. Chevy introduced the tail fins on the '56 model.
