I would think tucked away in garages , museums , or storage never to be seen again , deteriorating while waiting for new owners , and never on the road again but seen once in a while at a National NCRS meet.. Even tho over 3,000 54's were made it's rare to see them on the road or at shows $$$$. That's why I love having people see a 55 , as I drive it as often as I can (even to get milk ) .

Deal me in too. 1953 #276. I put about 4000 miles on it last year, including trips to see 53 #18 and 53 #169.

It's the most complete and updated registry I've found. A lot of time has went into keeping it accurate.
