'56 is my favorite tri-five. Vette's looking good! I remember the pics when you posted it for sale. Nice job.

Hey thanks. I can't believe you remeber that. That was a long time ago. My marriage would be better today if I had sold it.

Thanks. I too have sold a few classics in the past and regret losing all of them. I plan on never losing another one unless I'm literally starving.

Nice pic. I like the description of the older one talking to the younger one. I like the 56 best of the shoebox cars.

I love both of them. If I had to bet, I'd bet the Vette is a lot louder than the 56 with no sidepipes, so the Vette might be the only one doing any talking instead of the 56 talking to the Vette.
