Someone did an awesome job putting this together and with sound to boot. At the very end of the video you'll hear the song 'Ballad ofThunder Road ' sung by the star of the movie for which it was the theme! Not uncommon except this is the one and only song ever recorded, for publication, sung by Robert Mitchum!

Those 'smobiles could honk pretty good!  Is that a '55?  The '57s with the big J7 engines were a trip, too. yourock.gif

That's a 1956, Tom, with a 324 V8 with 4 barrel and duals. I bought it in 1962 after graduating from high school and working for a year for the Highway Dep. to save money. I drove it for a year before going into the Navy as a Seabee.
