The video got hit with a red flag for a song I used towards the end. I had to mute it so apologies for the quiet driving segment. π
-
Talk about super gutsy driving an unknown car 350 miles back to home. But, the huge never ending smile of Olivia made it worth it. Can't wait to see the resurrection of this car.
-
Props to Liv for always getting her hands dirty and getting into working on these old cars.
-
OH THAT IS A OUTSTANDING SURVIVOR!! CONGRATS ON THE NEW CAR!!
-
You will get the rusted out sheet metal cut out and replaced with new sheet metal and welded in, and it will be fantastic. What a great car. Congrats.

I've had 10 hot rods in the last 45 years, and every one of them was a garage Queen. That fear of bugs, birds and rocks always sucked the fun out of driving them. A hard lesson learned, but if it were me, I would leave the esthetics the way they are on this car, and just make it safe. Then you can drive it without worrying about dents, dings etc. etc.!!!! I wish I had done that with one of my cars!!!

Congratulations Olivia! It has its issues, but at least it runs, and it made it 350 miles back home! That's better than a lot of cars. Great job, both of you! Love it!

Great find! Sweet old 56. Nothing like driving a old tri5 Chevy. Don't get any better. Good luck with itππ»ππ»ππ»

I was born in 56 so if you could pop it in a cardboard box and post it over the the UK that would be fine πGreat help from the guy you got it from with the exhaust, interesting trip, looking forward to checking in on how the work gos on it. Great looking find with most of the mechanicals sorted, maybe. Good luck with it.

Don't you just love road tripping for a car? What an adventure. The wife and I just went 550 miles to pick up a 79 Blazer. Coming back through Montana it was -30 Windchill. Truck ran like a dream except the windshield washer pump quit and the Speedometer Adapter on the T Case broke and the cruise control quit. Good luck with your car!

What an awesome π adventure!! πππ
-
Definitely worth the trip. The 56 doesnβt get the love like the 55 and 57 but it should and a post car. Wow I really liked this video and I LOVE the car thank you.
-
Awesome car! so happy for you Olivia i know how much you wanted one!
-
The 56 is the best looking of all the tri fives. My absolute favorite.
-
Marketplace has some of the best things to pick up, I purchased a 70 Cuda Sight unseen and it was the best purchase Iβve ever done. Good purchase for you.ππΌ

Olivia and Danny, thanks for sharing your life.Your keeping it real.

I'm so happy for the two of you. I just bought my 93 year old neighbors 72 chevy chevelle. Its been in her family since ordering it from the factory. Her son beefed it up by doing an engine swap from a 400 to a 396. Not without dropping a 3/4 cam. Its almost all original inside and out. Sounds like a beast. Took me a couple of weeks to get it running again, but well worth it. Happy restoring to you both.π
