So, how many '54-'56 owners are on this forum? I know of a few, but there must be more of you out there.

In my spare time I am a Slum Lord and lately I have been stuck( literally) under a house repairing a 50 year old broken sewer line. Life sorta sucks at the moment, and I thought I was retired .

Is anybody keeping on tally on how many of each year model. I think the 56 is out front with the 54 in second place with the 55's close behind.

DITTO!! Hey, "Fitti Six"! LOVE your CO "Name" AND of course your CAR!! a BEAUTY!! I USED to own a NICE '56 88 Holiday Coupe; but I felt bad for the Guy I bought it from who went thru and Ugly Divorce and he contacted me to buy it back... I really FELT for the guy and so I DID! (On the condition that he offer it BACK to me whenever he thinks he might want to sell it again... ) So, currently I own a 1955 Super 88 Coupe! Alcan White over Juneau Gray! GLAD to see all the fellow owners on here! I NEED to re-Join The "NAOC" too!!
