Dave's '55 Chevy Convertible

This Web Page Last Updated: September 21, 2020

Many people have noticed my personal E-mail address (icruzina55@aol.com) and asked what kind of a '55 do I cruise in? Rather than send large picture files via the Internet, we decided to make this page available to answer those questions.

The car is a Blue & White (Skyline Blue & India Ivory) 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. The exterior appears stock with original-looking chrome, wide whitewall tires, and hubcaps. The interior has two-tone blue vinyl upholstery, all gauges, and an AM/FM tape deck with an amplifier. Power is provided by a 350 CID V-8 engine with a 4-barrel carb, dual exhausts, and a 4-speed trans with a Hurst shifter on the floor.

I have owned it for over 50 years (since those wonderful '60s when I drove it every day to Rider College). It finds its way to Cruise Nights from May to October and is used on any day throughout the year as long as it is not raining or snowing. It's a driver and since it has regular plates on it, I drive it everywhere as reflected by the 111,000-plus miles showing on the odometer.

When I registered the car, I was given the license plates -- HON~55C -- by chance! Rather than get personalized antique plates, I rationalize that it means a "Honey of a '55 Chevy." You can click on any of the photos below to form your own opinion.
