1956 Chevrolet GMC Bel Air - 157 YUB

1956 Chevrolet GMC Bel Air - 157 YUB
Seen this a few times and loved it, so I was really pleased at the end of this event to get a shot of it sat all alone.

And it's for sale ... if only!

It's a pretty one for sure! Lots of demand for the tri-five Chevys here! I kind of wonder how that will be in 50 years when all the folks with the warm and fuzzy memories about them have passed?

I suspect you may well see a dip in their popularity at that point, but then you might see their children and grandchildren wanting them to satisfy their own memories so any dip might be small.

Also, if you look over here they're hugely popular too, but you can't say that's based on any memories of them growing up because there were hardly any.

Personally, I worry about being able to keep the old Scirocco going in years to come because unlike these cars so much of the trim etc is plastic. I mean if the bumper on your old Chevy is a bit ropey you can easily repair/reproduce the parts yourself and get them re-chromed and it's the same with a lot of what makes up the really old cars. If it breaks just fabricate something new in metal and hey presto.

Not so easy when your bodykit or bumper that's almost 100% plastic gets busted. It's already getting hard to get really good condition parts and I can see that getting much, much more difficult fairly soon.

Now if you don't mind I'm going for a lie down! ;)

I have the same problem with my 1987 Trans Am. Someday it's going to be impossible to fix anything. I have a similar problem with my 1969 GTO. If anything would happen to the front endura bumper ... I'd be in a world of hurt!
