I REALLY want a 55-57 Chevy Stepside pickup. I had a 65 before but love the"Brow" headlights.
When I worked for the city there was an abandoned building with a 57? Apache in the fenced yard, I tried like hell to acquire it. The Aholes demolishing the building flattened it with a dozer. It was in great shape body wise ( I didnt care about the drive train since I had access to motors and trans ) just pissed me off they flattened it and I was willing to buy it.

57 has single headlights & 1958 began quad headlights..
And I would love to find a sweet 55 Chev p/up Apache or just a 3100. Trucks are so hot, pricing is crazy.
So who is next to naming this red car.. Hint, not in the 50's

I think John knows, but maybe he's sandbagging..
So I'll sling this on the wall, & see if it sticks: 1954 Packard Panther Convertible, Salon Collection (Concept car).. 1 of only 4 made.

Sleeper is the winner!The Packard Panther was a show car built in 1954 and featured a number of radical designs for the era. Known as a two-seat luxury car that came in a convertible model, the Packard Panther had Clipper taillights, a one-piece fiberglass body, and a removable hard top roof (on one model). Only four Panthers were built, of which two still survive. One of the surviving cars sold at auction in 2006 to an unknown buyer for $360,000. Also named “Daytona,” the Packard Panther was meant to show the automotive world where cars were headed and what the Packard company planned to feature in their upcoming 1955 models. Never put into full production, the Panther remains a very rare automobile to this day.
