'55 chevy gasser




Here are some more pics from my recent trip to Scandinavia. Besides visiting old junkyards and driving thousands of kilometres, we spend one weekend at Gardermoen raceway, Oslo's local drag strip. One of my favourite cars was this 1955 chevy two door post gasser. According to its current owner, it was built during the sixties in California and left untouched until today. Apart from the radials... imho a set of period bias plys would really make this car. Cool anyway.

  1. Hi there,

    This car is a cool timewarp. I saw it in May 2005 at the Watford Rods Show near London. The guy who brought it over from the states had it out the first time, still on the old crossplys.
    Custom Car Magazine did a really nice article about the car with it on the magazine cover a few months later but I don't know the issue number.
    The car must have been sold to Skandanavia after that.

    Regards Frank
