Vehicle Detail

I am the third owner of this 55 Chevy. The second owner had it for 30 years and drove it up and down the East Coast on their honeymoon. The boasted about getting 23 mpg on their trip with the 6 cyl. They purchased it from the first owner after their son "went wild and slashed the interior with a razor blade". The front bench seat was beyond repair so they put in replacement bucket seats. The entire interior, headliner, carpet, rear bench seat and door panels are covered in a blue "something". (I am sure 30 years ago it was very fashionable)The last time it had a New York inspection was 10 years ago. I replaced the oil, points, blew out the in-line gas filter in the carb and had it running with the help of gas in the carb. It ran for 10 minutes with new/old gas from the tank. The lights and horn work fine.There is rust in both rockers and at least one of the frame mounts on the passenger side. As far as I and several others that have looked it over, body panels, inner/outer fenders, trunk look solid without repair.
