Dean, there are some car designs as you well know that don't have one bad angle, and the 1957 Chev Bel Air is one Your art here memorializes one of its best views. Wonderful! I have a '57 Chevy story: Once upon a time when I knew I was going to live forever, I walked away (well, I started out by crawling) from an inverted 100+ mph ride that totaled a beautiful red Bel Air 2-dr hardtop. It was one of the few specials built with a 283 cube (normal was 265) 283 hp engine with solid lifters, fuel injection and a Duntov cam. The Chevy dealer who first had it ran it on the beach at Daytona in 1957 where it turned 133 mph, pretty darn quick for the era.

Don, Thanks for posting the 57 Chevy story. Glad you survived the roll over. 133mph in 57 was very quick... Wow. I was lucky too as a young man. When I came back from Vietnam I almost bought a 427 c.i. 1967 Stingray... British Racing Green with tan interior. The Marine Captain at Camp Pendleton was asking $3000. I had the cash but for some reason didn't buy it in 1970. Bought a 1958 Chevy (36 passenger) school bus and toured most of the States. For a time I kicked myself for not buying the Vett. So I still tell myself I would have killed myself with that much speed, and that "I can survive anything" state of mind.
