Very pretty car, great color combination. Don't recall ever seeing one exactly like that. Well done.

Absolutely beautiful '56. Glad to see Arctic Blue survives.

Is it a late car? Will you add bumperettes?

I figured it must have been with no power windows or top and the single four.

I don't think it could possibly look better. Guess it doesn't need bumperettes!

Great transformation! Just stunning from the color combination to the attention to detail.
