What is cool about this 55 is that it's not like everybody elses 55 at the local cruise night or car show. You will have your purist complain that the chop top is no good but most if not all the complainers dont have a 55 in there garage, nevermind a stock looking one or a custom . This car is going to definitely bring summer fun to someone real soon .
Probably the first time I’d say I’d turn down a 55 Chevy hardtop in my life. Mostly because of the chopped top, chrome trim can be replaced but that top ain’t going back.
It can go back if you know a good welder lol. They/The builder had to cut and weld it to get what you see if you think about it, so it could be undone. But I do understand the "Cost/Benefit analysis" being taken into account when considering if you want to buy it.
@@imhappyandyou.4003 true. I just find the cost of finding a good wielder plus the 40+ grand a bit steep for my taste. Bear in mind I do take into account the classic car market and the recent price inflations.
@@Nebulasecura Oh definitely!. Any welder who could set it right again or do it properly would push most budgets into the stratosphere lol.. I should've said that it could be done just not for cheap.. Have a wonderful night okay and I hope that all is well with you and yours Ms. or Mrs. Secura. 🙏🙏
@@tomhiggens6861 don't get me wrong I love the 55 as much as the 57, but i don't see the appeal in chopped tops. the only cars I've seen with chopped tops that are appealing is cars made from 1920 to 1945.
There's a chopped 55 here in Hawkesbay New Zealand first saw it at the local dragstrip,late 80s was white and a bit rough sold for 10k was white .now had full rebuild is black looks wicked.unreal to see a car and remember it from back then. I understand people liking stockish ones but as a body man I now what it takes to build one.if you like customs this is a awesome car.🇳🇿
Nice car. Nick. Also love the stuff i bought the t shirt and stickers. But on a serious note let me give you some advice. I have been married almost 20 years with 2 beautiful boys. And your learning quick that the wife is always right. Just don't forget it. Lol. Also yes ma'am goes along way. Have a great day and week Nick. God bless
Once you chop the upper car … windows , trim and rear window and windshield have to be special made and pay extra … This is like throwing out factory wiring harness and savings 5 lbs of Weight … Stupid is as Stupid does !
Here come the low ballers. Good thing though this is car that is adrenaline rush. Oh actually you can bring it back from a chop top if you know what your doing. I know a body guy that could turn this into the damn Batmobile. Before I get any comments, I work in the auto industry, so yeah I know a lot of guys with different skills that have take years to acquire. This just a $45000 toy.
I like the Chop top on that as well done well-constructed few a few minor touches and some issues on it the issues aren't anything motor sounds good as good power but those tail lights bread that 40 and up thing is a bit High but all around real nice car

i think the car was there for a long while.
Once you chop the top, it goes from a 44000 car to a 10000 car.
And the want to be 57 fins and no 55 tail lights

Nice to see you are honest about your cars 👍
Nice car man but wish it hadn’t been chopped. I guess a lot of people like them like that but I’m not one of them. But it’s still a cool car👍
great test drive and i like your up front assessment of the good & not so good things but nothing major, love the car
Too cool damn you'd be the talk of the town and you can piss the neighbors off ,I want it😎

I 😍 the car, chopped top and everything. You kept me laughing every time you stepped 🤣 on the ⛽️ gas!
Damn that Chevrolet is nice especially the paint job I like that black and orange mixture boy if I had the money for that I would get that so fast!
Never confirmed Horn, Wife made you Nervously confused, however …her ride along was a blessing and she should drive some time.
Cool car nice riding with you, don't think I've ever seen you get down on one like that Yelp she's got some Horsepower ✅
Sounds like it has great power, good looking car, was that a cop at around the 13:20 on the video, still say you have a great job Nick.
Hi Nick....enjoyed the video.... The 55 is a nice ride!....
Big time head turner 🔥
Let's get some groceries!! Beautiful car Nick.
I can't drive 55 ,lol lol , nice lookin 55 Nick,,should go fast..nice chop
I honestly love the harley Davidson paint scheme on it
that car was setting around there for a good while
That is one sweet sounding 55
Looked like it has air horn under the rear.? Nice car though, fun weekend Street Racer!
Perfect beautiful amazing looking car beautiful colours wow perfect thanks Nick have a very nice day mate
If the spider isn't included, I'm not buying it.
Reminds me of a tricked out HotWheels car I would have had when I was a kid.
Very very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Harley Davidson color package 😆
Nice motor. That's about it. I'll take on of the 60's impalas.
Got some nice rides this week Nick!
Have you ever been pulled over during a test drive? I have a few times.Never got a ticket though. Beautiful car even if its chopped.
Nope not yet
A chopped '55 two door hardtop.......hmmmm, someone will like it. It is a beast though.
Omg yes please
OK car, cute passenger, wish my real estate agent looked like that, wowsir
Very nice oh so is the car !
Why the difference of the two rear shock?
Cool Hot Rod!!! 👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
I notice the windshield is cracked that will be a job finding glass for that since it is chopped
This chevy is a podracer from mos eysley spaceport where podracer is competing, thanks Nick stay cool 😎 😎 😊
Looks like a fiberglass car.
I like everything but the taillights should be left stock, chopped top and doors are great work done to them
Right the tail lights made it look like an old plymouth, lol 😆
Just love it.....💗💗💗💗
Darn I don't know if I want to buy it are not. You didn't check the HORN. That's really a nice car.
The Best are the one's not for sale in the background
Your wife said no gas wait before you take-off lol😹 Yeah that's a Hot'rod no doubt💯
No offense but your wife is a hottie!. Car is cool too.
You have the best job in the world
Love the big block!
People are hating on the chopped top but I think it’s a nice look the stock roof is to high for me
It does have that SoCal OG look.
Not high enough if your 6.1 or 6.2 like me … chopped is great for guys that are very short
👍 👍
You are Blessed Sir. Right on! Shalom ❤️🔥
Where's the Hood ?????
Watch the video
Under the hood? Where's the hood?
Your wife made that car look good.
Can I test drive it too 🤣
Dang, who did work on that car?
Cool family car
Say NO to chopped tops of nice vintage rides.
@@irocjared Not on these 1950s Bel airs they don’t. Chopped tops belong exclusively to the mercs of the early 50s and late 40s
Now that's a car!!
Customs are at the lower end of the big buck prices . Give me something original and I'll show you the money !

Lol
nice
I want a t shirt too
It has 1956 tail lights….🤔
Great video Sir
The back of the car looks like a Ford?
WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Who owns this car now
I could have bought that car in ft Wayne indiana for $20,000 on market place. 3 yes ago. Has alot wrong with it.
Too bad it’s chopped and where’s the hood
Definitely the wrong color
Bad Ass
Holy Sh _t!!!
Here come the low ballers. Good thing though this is car that is adrenaline rush. Oh actually you can bring it back from a chop top if you know what your doing. I know a body guy that could turn this into the damn Batmobile. Before I get any comments, I work in the auto industry, so yeah I know a lot of guys with different skills that have take years to acquire. This just a $45000 toy.
Everyone wants a steal of a deal , I don’t blame them. Don’t we all, thanks. Yes someone definitely put a lot of time into this ride.
