New old ride
I traded for this last night.It is a 50 Chevy with the original 6 cylinder and 3 speed on the column.It is a 4 door with the rear handles shaved,it has brand new red interior,it is pin striped to death(by killer designs)and it runs and drives great.It has a top speed of about 55-60 because of the original enclosed driveline.If I keep it I plan on installing a newer style rearend and trans.My wife actually likes it so I will probably have to keep it for a little while.

Re: New old ride
I pulled the engine out of my 49 due to the lack of power. I took it over in Ohio a couple times and on the highway I thought for sure I was going to get slammed in the rear. I have the mounts already in the car. It's just waiting for it's V8 to be pushed in her. those 6 bangers run good around town but 55 or 60 is pushing them hard.

Looks great! I'm with Steve though as I'd drop a small block in it but that's just me. Looks like a good deal and glad that you and the missus are cruisin' already!

Re: New old ride
Thanks guys,I took my little man to boy scouts in it tonight and he loved it.I probably won't change anything as of now but if I have it this next winter I will definately change the running gear out.It is very slow taking off!
