Re: Found pics

The boggo One-Fifty model....1957 but in this entry-level car the side trim resembled that used in 1956 cars. "Blue Flame" sixes in these going by the 235 displacement (if that is indeed what the figure is referring to rather than the size of the shipment!) but you could theoretically get ...
