the vehicle's trim. Car features custom pinstriping, a rear
Continental spare tire kit, rear wheels skirts, Frenched radio

are in all good form. Most of the vehicle's lights are in good
shape. All of the body panels are straight, the engine bay is tidy
with a lot of chrome and the battery appears new. The car features
a center high-mounted stoplight (CHMSL) and the bumpers are in
fantastic condition as well. Under the hood is Ford's 312 CID V-8
engine, featuring lots of chrome, power brakes, louvered valve
heads and dual exhausts. Car has pleated padding around the engine
bay and, as an ode to �50s movie icon, James Dean, there's a unique
mural painted on the hood's underside by Ackley in 1988. Neon can
illuminate the engine bay and vehicle underbody at the driver's
desire. Inside, the car features a rolled and pleated silver and
black interior. The silver bench seats are in excellent shape while
the black carpeting is in very good order. The white headliner is
well kept, as is the sparkling instrument panel with its generous
helping of chrome. Even the steering wheel rim cover matches the
seat color. The condition of the door skins, mirrors and shift
lever all reflect the rest of the interior. Rounding out the inside
is a factory AM radio, fire extinguisher and, with a deft touch of
whimsy, door lock plungers topped with tiny, black 8 billiard
balls. Competition to this car in 1956 included Buick's Series 40
