Mildly Modified 1959 Chevrolet Two Door at South 1st Performance

Written by Ken Altes

Facing a stock 1950 Chevrolet, this ’59 Chevy is lowered with bags, with newer front brakes, but still has its original  Stovebolt straight six engine, dating from 1929.  My Mom had two cars with this engine. See permanent link at right for South 1st Performance.

Amazing 1950 Chevrolet Custom at South 1st Performance

Written by Ken Altes

This was my find of the day.  A lot of work and creativity went into this, including a chopped roof and sectioned and channeled body, as well as some fiberglass elements.  Surprisingly, it has its original Stovebolt Chevy straight six engine.  I really love the dashboard.   See the glazing in the roof.  Thanks to South 1st Performance for showing me this car. Their permanent link is at right under ATX Motor Links.

Could this be a defensive measure by a Rockabilly anti-hero?
