1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, Maine

 

Thanks to Vincent Stanley who caught the carr in Blue Hill, Maine. Nice car, too bad it's turquoise, is that even a color? Very popular shade on restored '55s. This car is being raffled for the benefit of Blue Hill YMCA: 300 tickets, at $100 a ticket. The '55 was an extraordinarily popular car and there are plenty still around, including one for sale a few years back in Sedgwick, Maine. and another '55 in Mossbank, Saskatchewan. We caught a '55 Chevrolet wagon for sale in Cambridge in 2019; and a '55 Townsman wagon was on the block at BaT. Here's a rougher edition of the '55 wagon, in Wiscasset, Maine and an even rougher one in Marfa, Texas. And then a cleaned-up '55 wagon in Searsport, Maine. A '55 Chevrolet convertible was riding low in Santa Fe; and a streetfighter '55 lurked in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. And this '55 wagon was for sale last time we went through San Luis, Colorado.
