My first car was also a 50 Chevy in 1958.
It was a 2 door fleetline(fast back). All black
I lowered it, shaved and decked it, and removed the taillights and
put them in the bumber via Buick bumper guards.
The engine had dual carbs, pop up pistons, and a split exhaust
manifold with dual steel packs.
I also had Oldsmobile spinner hub caps.
All thing that were right with the times.
A 55 Chevy Belair 2 door hardtop with V8*, stick and powerpack
was next.
Warren.

*I don't think I'm quite old enough to be your grandfather, Seth, but I
did
own a 50 Chevy Deluxe Coach. Was the first car I bought myself - as a
senior in H.S. Was a great car, and I installed a crate 283 green block
(Canadian Pontiac) in it. Later a corvette competition cam and a '57
Chevy
tranny. Still ran the 4:11 rear end, and had no trouble with the Ford
of
that day!*
