This one is a survivor with the original paint, interior, engine and tires. Only 35,643 original miles. It's been in the same family since new and always garage-kept and well-maintained. The current owner received the car from her aunt who didn't have a drivers license and relied on other family members to take her places. Before that, it had belonged to her grandfather who purchased it new at Frye Motors in Martinsburg, WV in January 1955. This one has the upgraded motor in 1955. They came out with the Fireball V-8 322-cid, 236-hp with a 9.0:1 compression ratio, also optioned with power steering, power brakes, Dynaflow automatic transmission and Sonomatic radio.
