Missed yesterday's post, the storm's aftermath and digging out occupied my time. I do believe I am getting too old for this, so asap, I am looking for a service to deal with it from now on.
Continuing with Tony's theme of "Blue Chevy Week" here's the entry that was planned for yesterday.

My neighbor had that exact color combo. I watched that blue fade away over the years from oxidation. I was going to walk across the street with a can of compound and a rag but my father stopped me.

A beautiful baby in baby blue John!

One of my favorite '55's from the mints. I thought Franklin Mint did a nice job with their Hardtop's, but when this Danbury Mint version was released, I saw the flaws in Franklin's.
Great photos as always John! And good luck on finding that service to take care of your snow. I've reached that age where I too, will not shovel anymore.

John I loved this model when it first came out in yellow, green and white but didn’t like the color combo. Then this LE arrived and I loved it. I was a relatively new home owner at the time and had to be very selective what I bought as funds were limited. Fast Forward and i regret it as these are now a bit pricey. I’ll land one someday

I'm not a huge '55 Chevy fan but I'd sure like to have this one in my collection. They're very rare now.

My favorite car of all time in its class and in one of my fave color combos as well. Gorgeous model!
