1956 Chrysler 300B Barn Find

This car has been sitting since 1976 in the Motor Parts building on Coxe Ave. in Asheville, NC. There were roughly 1,100 made. There are about two hundred now known to exist, one hundred of which are road worthy.
This is the first time it has seen light for almost 50 years. It came out without much of a fight. Since then we've rebuilt the cooling, brake and fuel systems. It runs and drives perfectly. We're enjoying this incredibly rare car with a great Western NC and Appalachian history.
Motor: 354-cu.in. FirePower Dual Quad Hemi V-8

Noice! I daily drive a 2005 Chrysler 300C. Would be cool to park them side by side
Good editing and video, btw. Your 26 subs will turn into 26,000 in no time if you keep it up
