that's a neat color and an awesome steering wheel lock system. Do you still own it?

Sweet. A lot of 'sedans' are great looking cars.

Extremely sharp. Marlowe, you should be very proud of that one.

Ha! I'm betting that steering wheel lock system could easily be defeated...

... with a hacksaw to the steering wheel. Nah, I sold that car in 1991 or '92 at a Rick Cole Auction in Newport Beach. If memory serves I sold it for $18k or $19k.

I bought the H61 '57 Chevy as well. My intention is to strip it and then repaint to match my old 1:1. Note the lightbar in the grill is upside down. LOL!
