    This film gets 100% at Jalopnik Tomatoes. Right up there with Grand Prix and LeMans.

    Pretty good film, Mr. Martin. I watched it twice because I like '56 Chevys. Please don't resume your filmmaking career. For one reason, you do such an awesome job as our Weakened Editor. ;)

    You don't want the Green Death (as opposed to all the other colors, which you do want), and you don't want to mess with the Phone Police.

    Nice overpass.

    So they don't have duct tape in Colorado? What's the story on those fenders behind the headlight bezels?


    The tailight shot is great. As "plain" as this car is by late 50s standards, look at all that intricate detail. No curved swoopy pieces of red plastic with no trim here, fellas.

    I've always liked this model year better than '55 and maybe even '57. It's the simplest, cleanest design of the three.


    I get a much bigger kick out of the sedans and non-Bel Airs than the typical sport coupes and convertibles. For a lower-line model, the Two-Ten actually looks pretty sharp with just enough chrome and two-tone paint.


    Also, Chevy should bring back those bow-tie-in-crest emblems. Huge emblems are (unfortunately) all the rage right now, but that big gold bow-tie just looks like hell.

    Damn, this thing is beautiful. I shot a four-door sedan of similar vintage (different make) last week - infinitely more turquoise, but the photos, of course, aren't as good. Curse my terrible camera (and unexceptional photography skills)!

    [WARNING: THREAD JACK IN PROGRESS]


    Just had to share this with my fellow Jalops. I just picked up a first-gen RX7 in excellent condition for $500. She doesn't run, but I've narrowed it down to clogged jets, so I'm not worried about it too much.





    I'm so damn excited about this thing. It's carbureted AND a rotary. I'm so far off the beaten path, I don't know what to do with myself. This is awesome.

    @Unevolved- Recommended by 4 out of 5 dentists.: $500? That's a steal. And if it turns out it's a fairly simple fix--or even if not--let us know--because the Devil and his Project Car Hells work in mysterious ways. $500 bucks for a first gen in this condition? I would have splashed a little holy water on it, just to check.

    I'd leave it as is, and just add a turbo. At this altitude, forced induction is a good idea.
