Tim, yes there is a V in front of the VIN # and it has all the V body trim.
how would the block codes read for a '57 ?

Baldy, i had read that the 283 was a late year option for '57 but the tag for the GVW and engine HP rating only list the 235 and 265

Bill, my plan so far is some kind of resto rod, but its a long term project so i'll see what parts turn up along the way.


'57 Big Window 3100
'53 Five Window 3100
