Our 57 210 Sedan low miles

Lynn A McCarty · 01-21-2011, 12:50 PM

We took this car apart and bagged and tagged everything. We are going to restore it back to the original condition. Not concours, but original. I am sure the paint might be a bit more polished and smooth than the GM orange peal of the day. It wont take much for us to do that

. Any guesses based on that? Who is the expert for these cars? Last weekend we just realized that his car still has the original tires on it!

One problem is that it is a 6 cyl. car, and the VIN # shows that. If you change it to a V-8 it will be a modified car, so the originality kind of suffers. But there is always a market for a nice 5-7 Chevy no matter what the condition is.

Much cheaper to buy a nicely finished car than to build one...

My Opinion
