Well, it is Port Angeles..  I grew up there so, can speak of the total lack of intelligence which exists in that area.

Not the right pan either for that year of car. I wonder how he got that VIN settled. I would be suspicious.

Looks like they just used the pics from the BAT listing for this ad. Wonder if the front apron is still damaged and the rear air bag mount seems a bit suspect. Most of all to me the color is very off putting and the interior to. Like they say there is a lid for every pot and someplace this is a dream car for someone............. |

That looks very similar to the placement on my ʻ57. Didnʻt they raise them so they wouldnʻt be obstructed by the towel bars on American-spec bumpers?

All original 1955...did the 1955 come with a humpback gas tank? My April 55 doesn't have one. When did they start putting those in?
Pea shooter cutouts...must be a late 55 maybe a 56 year model? Nice looker.

That'd make this car a 1956, eh? |

It has the right doors for a '55 so those are probably swapped parts.
But, it is not all original.

May consider trade for a newer low hour hardtop aluminum fishing boat (such as Hewes Pro V), or Newer Silverado/Sierra Double Cab 2500hd with low miles.
So you're willing to trade your 55 for a fishing boat? I don't understand that
