1957 150 handyman fuel injection

[olredalert]

----Back in the early 80's I was in Louisville to look at several cars for Classic Motors that our buyer had lined up. We went from the airport to his house and in the driveway wa a 57 2-door fuel injected wagon. It was a lower level model, but I can't remember which. We drove it around all day. He wouldn't sell that one as it had less than 10,000 miles. I do remember that it was a 283HP 3-speed. Can't remember if it had overdrive. The story he told me was that a guy that ran a race team ordered it so he could get stuff to the races (tools, jacks. etc.) I pestered him for months to sell it to me, but he never even came up with a price, which was unusual for him. He's passed and I have no idea where it went.

If you remember his name, you could put our resident sleuth, Pete, on the trail to find relatives and maybe the car ? Sometimes I wonder if that guy is PI...

This Chevrolet is so cool.

The year, model, color and who it was intended for.
The perfect patina takes it over the top.
