No, they could really fly.

 

Of all 3, you have to admit that the '56 front end was butt ugly. I had a '55 clip on mine. I let my buddy's girlfriend drive mine, in highschool, and it didn't take longer than a couple minutes for her to wreck my original front end. A neighbor a couple streets away had this jet black hotrod 56 2-door coupe with a Z-28 302 in it. He had just swapped an original '55 clip for a fiberglass tilt and wanted to off his sheetmetal one. I forgot what I payed for it. But, it wasn't much. I was happy with it, because it didn't scare off chicks like the original might have had.

 

About the Corvair pulling the small RV, those trailers were light. Keep in mind we had a 22' UltraVan motorhome that was Corvair powered and would cruise at 60+ MPH with full bath, kitchen, etc.
They were much smaller than modern motorhomes but contained the same things.

About the tri-five Chevrolets. Personally I liked the front clip of the '55 much better. It was cleaner looking. The '56 became too bulky. The '57 was actually gaudy and ugly. Many people who traded up every year canceled their '57 Chevy and waited for the '58 to come out.

Yes, today the 1957 Chevy is what everyone wants and thinks is beautiful. How quickly we loose track of true beauty!

 

The '57 Corvette wasn't ugly. Here are usefull ways to employ those '57 bits:

 

That first one is a poor man's Johnny Cash Cadillac, one piece at a time Chevy.

That's about all a 1957 Chevy is good for. I had a '57 2-door hardtop. Actually I liked it. Compared to a '55 the '57 felt like driving a river barge.
We came close to owning one of the early '57 Chevy Boss Hoss trikes but the vendor backed out eventually.
We needed a big block motorcycle like another hole in the head anyway. Cheap beer and stupidity have a way of making a grown man act silly.

 

That motorcycle....wow!!! But if I was bright Enough to come up with this I would have employed the Cadillac big fin. Matter a fact I went with the father in law to a yard in his neck of the woods. Everything there was rotten and pretty worthless but I did spot a pair of late 50's pink Cadillacs waaaaay back in the woods. And I do have a 96 fxr which I barely ride. Now if I could just get a few sacks of time from somewhere.......

 

I'd rather have a big red older Cadillac fin on a bike too.
Maybe Johnny Cash's mom's Caddy is in that junk yard. I remember it sitting at Graceland several years back in a carport.

 

That weird car was called a 789, BTW....

 

A Rolling pin thrower is ready to let the pin fly at its target at the Sullivan County Dairy Herd Improvement Association Annual Field Day on the Albert Read farm in West Claremont,N.H. 1964.www.facebook.com/NewHampshireThenAndNow




A direct hit scored in the rolling pin throwing contest on the Albert Read Farm in 1964 during the West Claremont,N.H. Annual Field Day in 1964

 

I guess, it's an effective housewife assault weapon to use on a disobedient husband. Every housewife should enroll in a rolling pin throwing course for the event where an assaulted husband attemtps to flee. Think of it. The wife need'nt go out and buy throwing knives of which she coulkd incurr a murder charge.

 

Mom never used a rolling pin but pop was pretty good with his penny loafers. He could hit a kid running away from 25 ft.

 

Mom was good at combat boot hurling and dildo throwing champion on or block. She even supporting our family, through vibrator throwing courses for adult toystore salespersons, while dad tried selling shoes.

 

hahaha

 

I agree.
