    Call it an exaggeration, Ralph.

    Today, it looks like a 62 Chevy; unable to determine whether it’s a Bel-Air, Biscayne, or an Impala.

    My favorites of the era were 1960 and 1961. While I loved the gauge cluster of the 1959 and 1960 Chevys, the most overall pleasing to the eye had to be the understated 1961 Chevy. Its lack of chrome was a flash back to the 1955 Chevy, another year with an understated style.

    It’s all in how you look at it, no?

    But it does look like someone killed it.

    First thing Baldo should do is start. So far he has done nothing. I took a 52 Merc and turned it into a hot rod, took me 2 years, started in 1964 when I was 14 and had a dream. But I never really finished working on it. Finally sold it to my oldest grandson for $1 in 2017. Now, its his daily driver until winter, then he drives an old 65 Dodge pickup.

    When new it was a poor quality clunky family car that at most had an expected life of 10 years/100,000 miles. What it will cost to restore will exceed the cost of a new Lexus/BMW/Mercedes and even then half the rusted out body will be Bondo.

    The Dreams part is pretty accurate: The Car is very Nebulous, just like a Dream.

    If my car project had stayed in our driveway as long as Baldo’s has, it wouldn’t be there.

    Looks like a good place to breed Black Widows.
