Bummer you gotta give her up. nice looking car. I am not a big fan of that baby blue but I could totally live with it if the car is cool enough.

It's not "baby blue." It is "Antique Turquoise."

*gasp* DON'T DO IT!

You'll only regret it later. If it's because of the kid, I'm pretty sure you can still put a baby seat in the back.

I'm more of an Italian car guy, and I'd still find it nearly impossible to let a ride like that go :/

//gorgeous shot though.

It's a 1955 Chevrolet 210, four-door sedan. 235 Straight Six, three-on-the-tree.

I have no place to keep her. I don't drive her enough to make it worthwhile to maintain her. I'd like to see her go to someone who can take care of her the way she deserves.

I nearly cried when I found out my dad sold the '57 Olds station wagon we rebuilt together. Parting sucks. He still has the '55 Holiday 98 (88?) he inherited from his grandmother, though, which I also helped on the re-rebuild. I've taken pictures, but haven't found the contest in which to fit them, yet.

They're all over the place these days - but there's a classic car dealer lot just around the corner from my house...

I have an outstanding offer from an old friend of mine - which leaves me a way to buy her back at a later date if circumstances change. If he decides not to buy, I'll be exploring the market a bit.
