The maroon 55 Chev is Jim Johnstons car from BC Canada. Jim has owned the car since 1967, and Jim and his brother, the late Rick Johnstion raced the car as a MP car in the early years. Later on when Rick got his 56 Chev, the 55 spend many years as driveway art, complete with its green lace paint job. Jim and his son Ken turned it into a S/S car about 25 years ago, and with Ken driving, won the Seattle National event in the mid 90s. They did a complete resto on the car a few years ago. Another Div. 6 55 Chev S/S car is the stick BelAir 2 dr hardtop, which along with a 57 sedan, are raced by the Parmenter family, I believe out of Oregon. Also, although he has not ran it in GT as far as I know, Rick Pike sometimes runs his 55 in a Modified class.
