As some of you know, I like to share a story from time to time about being
a teen in my 57.
Certainly, I would like to read any shoebox stories you may wish to share
as well.

In high school, Mike, Ken and I had a "car gang" that consisted of all
three of us. I had my 57 Belair. Mike had his 56 Belair, and Kenny... he
had a 64 GTO; just the same, we named the "gang" - The Belairs. ( Pretty
creative eh?) In those days the word "gang" had a completely different
meaning than it does today. For us, bad and daring behavior was sneaking a
drag on a cigarette, lighting up the tires, and breaking a few eggs on
Halloween. We never desired to carry guns or knives for any reason, and an
illegal drug was unheard of.
I recall one summer night, in my central-Idaho hometown of 2000 people,
with my friend Ken. I was giving Ken a ride home after some "official
Belair activity". It was around midnight, and we rounded a corner on a
hilltop neighborhood above Ken's house. There ahead of us, beneath a street
light and in the middle of the road - was a baby carriage. Ken promptly
chuckled... "lets run it over!" "No, I said, "thats too mean, let's just
roll that carriage down the road to the end of the street and leave it"!
"Yea... ok." Ken agreed. As I started to shift, that inner voice of reason
tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Hey, what if there's a real baby in
there?" I said to Ken... "Let's check it first, make sure there's not a
baby in it."
"At midnight? In the street?" asked Ken. "
"Well that would be just our luck." I said.
I drove by the carriage real slow, and Ken reached out and grabbed the
handle. " It's empty," he said.
Ken kept hold of the handle on the carriage and proceeded to drag the
carriage along side the car. We were going to wheel it down to the end of
the block where we turned to go to Ken's house. We thought it would be a
good prank for the owner to come outside in the morning and see the
carriage way down at the end of the block, and have to walk down there to
get it. Besides, who leaves a baby carriage in the middle of the street, at
midnight? Half the way to our destination, something happened... something
went terribly wrong. I hit a pothole (very rare in central Idaho... HA!)
and somehow the baby carriage twisted out of Ken's hand and ended up
underneath the car. I heard a dragging and grinding noise. "Uh oh" I said
in my analytical teen brilliance. We stopped and tried to free the baby
carriage from my undercarriage. It would not budge. Finally Ken suggested
that we go down the road and try and scrap it off on a speed bump. After
several tries, it finally came off... and in far less than good condition.
We we're a little nervous about this new development and decided we
should quickly and quietly drive down the hill to Ken's house. I pulled
into the driveway, suddenly running down the hill - out of the night, came
the shrill, enraged cries of a clearly deranged woman. She neared my Belair
and demanded to know, "Is that a 57 Chevy?" I could tell by the tone of her
voice, she was not interested in discussing the virtues of "57 chevydom".
Ken got out of the car and casually went into his house. I looked back at
her and playing dumb, I said "this car here?"
"Yes!" she repeated. "Is that a 57 chevy?" "Uh...No, no, it is not," I
said. "It's a 56 Ford". ( More teen brilliance...)
Now even more enraged, she demanded to know who was driving it. Since
Ken was not present to defend himself, I took the opportunity to explain
that Ken actually had been driving the car. Next she demanded to know,
"what was his (Ken's) name"?
Since Ken's big-brother Musty was not present to defend himself, I told
her... "Musty." She promptly demanded that I go inside and bring Musty out
of the house that she may speak with him. "OK." I said. I went into the
house and climbed the stairs to Ken's room. We peeked through the curtains
of his bedroom window at the woman standing out in the darkness on the
street below. "What did she want?" asked Ken. "She wanted to know if my car
was a 57 chevy, and I told her it was a 56 Ford." Ken chuckled lightly,
"She's pretty upset." "Yea I told her Musty was driving, and she demanded
I come in here and tell Musty to go out there and talk to her." Ken
laughed. We stood there and stared at her through the part in the curtain
for about 20 minutes. Finally she left and went back up the hill. I hurried
out to my 57 and rushed home. I put the car in the garage and quickly got
undressed and into bed.
My bedroom wall was next to the front door/ foyer. Suddenly, there was a
ring at the bell. I heard dad get up and make his way to the door. I could
hear mumbling through the wall. Then I heard more footsteps. BAM! Dad
kicked my door open and flipped on the light... of course I was in the
middle of a deep, innocent slumber. "Get your little @#! out of bed, and
get out here NOW!" demanded my dad. I stumbled out to the hallway, and
there was a local police officer standing there. I looked up at him. He
kinda laughed, and said, "I have a report of a black 57 chevy running over
a baby carriage tonight... and since you have the only 57 chevy in town, I
thought I would start here. Y'know anything about that?" I suddenly
realised that my only way out of this mess, was to come clean. I
repentantly nodded my head. "Yes, we did it, but it was an accident, we did
not mean to harm the carriage, only roll it down the street." I explained
the whole story.
As I finished the story, I was suddenly startled by a good slap to the
back of my head. Before I could turn around to see what it was, "mom" was
yelling in my ear."Ran over a baby carriage did ya?!" Then she grabbed me
by the ear and tweaked it real good - not letting go. She looked at the
police officer and said, "You tell that woman I said for her to go down to
the Sears catalog store tomorrow and order any baby carriage she wants,
order the best, most expensive one they got - and that Bud here will be
happy to pay for it!" Then she let go of my ear. The cop left and delivered
the information. A couple of days later, I got the shock of my life. I did
not realize Rolls Royce was also in the baby carriage business, but they
were. In 1981, the best model baby carriage cost a whopping $650.00. That
was $50 more than I paid for my 57 a year earlier! And just as mom
promised, I paid for it. I had a job, and every check I made went to Sears
until it was all paid for. Ken worked after school at night and provided
the only income for himself and his ailing grandmother, so I didn't feel
right asking him to pay anything.
I was the victim of a $650 lesson in character, but I am sure it has
paid for itself many times in the last 20 years. I hope to see other
stories from other readers. Bob thanks for this great forum.

Hi BOb

thanks to the members of the list who told me they met me at our last event
in NY-its great to hear from people you email all year long!

I am looking to purchase (rent or borrow) an open trailer to carry my 56
Chevy to shows that are further away than 2 hrs from my home.

Due to all my distance driving last year(over 5000 mi) , we had to replace
the tranny, torque converter, drive shaft , exhaust , mufflers ,master
cylinder and now full brake system -all in the past 2 months! (not too easy
when the wife is laid off from work since Feb)

I have realized that my baby is a $40000 trailer queen now (and I am NOT
happy about it) but need to still have the option to drive it too.

If there is anyone out there that is selling a decent open trailer for
around $1000 and can tow my 3500 lb car ,PLEASE contact me via phone or
email. A picture would be great too.

If you have a trailer you would be willing to let me borrow (rent cheaply)
for JULY 4th weekend to go to CT and JULY 16-22 to travel to SYRACUSE, I
would ask that as well.

Thank you so much - this list is great! BOb I cant say enough....

<< 3 men go into a motel. The desk clerk says a room is $30, so each man
pays $10 and they go to the room.
Awhile later, the desk clerk realizes that the room is only $25, so he
sends the bellboy to the 3 guys' room
with $5 change. On the way to the room, the bellboy can't figure out how to
split $5 evenly between 3 men, so he gives each man $1 and keeps the other
$2 for himself. This means that the 3 men each paid $9 for the room,
which is a total of $27. Add to that the $2 the bellboy kept and the total
is $29. Where is the other dollar? >>

This isn't so hard to figure out if you do the math correctly. Assume the
three men paid $9 apiece for the room. $27, right? Then assume two of
them
paid a dollar each to the bellboy as a tip. $29, right? To make it an
even
$30, the third man would have had to chip in a dollar.

Or figuring it another way, the men were reimbursed three dollars of the
five
dollar over charge. The bellboy kept two. Three plus two equals five
dollars. Five plus the $25 correct room charge equals $30.

Or you can say the men paid ten dollars each and received a reimbursement
of
one dollar each. That's $30 minus $3 which equals $27. The bellboy kept
the
additional reimbursement of two dollars. Twenty seven minus two equals
$25.

The trick to this puzzle is in the deceptive wording.

Bob,

This message is in response to the question from Klassicjon who asked for
help in identifying the engines in his two 55's. One of the engines had an
ID ending in "GF". That engine was originally a two-barrel 265 with a
three-speed transmission and air conditioning. The other engine is a bit
of
mystery in that Klassicjon says its ID ends in the letter "K". If it ends
in "GK," it was originally a two-barrel 265 with a heavy duty clutch,
three-speed, and air conditioning. There was no engine ID in 55 that had a
suffix of "K" without another letter preceding it.

Hi Bob,
The answer to the missing dollar, there is no missing money. The room cost
only $25 and the men paid $27. The bell hop kept $2 this brings the total
back to $25 not $29!. By the way where can you find a room for $30????
Great List!

Editor's note. Interesting you should ask. There was a motel shut down
here in Orange County recently that was renting rooms for $30. You only
got the room for one hour. The motel owner was quoted as saying " I guess
my guests just wanted to sleep one hour. What is so unusual about that?"

I have heard that there is two methods to mount the radiator in a 57 chevy,
one in the 8 cyl. position and one in the 6 cyl. position. I have a V8 and
I want to move the radiator to the 6 cyl. position. How is it done? Do I
need a different bracket or additional hardware?

Grant in Seattle
gtmorris@seanet.com

Grant, the easiest way is to obtain two pieces of flat 1/8th" steel the
height of the mounting area on you radiator and wide enough to reach
through
the cradle toward the front. Bolt these to the cradle at the original rad.
mounting holes on the rad. support and then drill hole on the forward end
of
the plates to match up with your radiators mounting holes. Bolt it to the
pieces and with the pieces bolted to the support, you have it. You will
need
longer hoses. I believe Classic Chevy Intl. sells these already made up as
do other suppliers. I always made mine, but I had access to everything I
needed.
Hope this helps some.

My brother and I put a/c into an expensive show car here in the Cincinnati,
Ohio. The car was a 55 chev Bel Air. The fellow brought us a Vintage air
kit. So we installed the kit over a weekend while the car sat there with an
$8000.00 paint job on it.
There had been no prep done on the car for this a/c unit. No holes drilled
nothing.
The first thing the guy wanted was to relocate his battery to the
trunk, so thats where we started and then to remove the seats, hood and
other misc stuff that gets into the way. After that we used a templet to
drill the holes into the dash. We also drilled at least one hole through
the flat radiator extension filler pan (bolts from top of core support to
inner fender. We loosened the radiator and installed the condenser. Drilled
a couple of holes and installed the aluminum dryer and then set about
installing the main a/c box under the dash.
The job that took the most time for us was due to the fact that we ran
stainless steel hardlines side by side on the inner fender
with good looking hold downs (there are plenty to choose from).
Before we installed these lines, we shaped and formed them with out hands
an a tool. Once they took shape, we polished them on high speed polishing
equipment, and used the soldering material sold to us by our supplier. Of
course we did use some rubber Stainless steel braided hose at the points
that fastened down to lessen the shock of vibration. The finished product
showing the twin stainless steel polished lines really drew comments at the
first show in Cincinnati. The car took first place in the 5 + modification
class. Point of interest. The car that had taken first place for the 3
previous years belongs to a former friend. he would not speak to me after
the show saying that we had built the car to
zero in on him and his car. Several people did tell us that they thought
that the difference was in the Rack and pinion steering and the A/C
presentation.
Over all Vintage air rates high on our list. Everything was straight
forward and everything worked as it should except the pulleys. The owner of
the car had put a chromed system on the car that was not compatible with
the extr pulley needed, so we had to make adjustments. Oh, one last thing
as the last minute when we were going to wire up the main wires from the
box under the dash. (It was already installed), we could not locate the
lead of wires as shown on the picture. We called Vintage air and they had
closed for the day. But when we got to the right extension to leave a
message, the tech rep who fields calls like this had the call forwarded to
his house where he picked up on it and walked us through the procedure to
find the wires.
Good Luck

Dear Bob:

Last Issue of the "The List", Nick the Sedanman wrote: "Ed Cole was the
chief engineer in charge of developing the original Chevy smallblock."

As a "chevy-nut-enthusiast-absent-minded-historian" of sorts, and as most
of us are to some degree, it is my recollection that the very first chevy
V8 smallblock was built in 1927. ( Which supports my bias against those
ugly Fords).
The problem in 27, was the thing had so much horsepower, it bent those old
rail frames and took the action right out of those old knee-action shocks.
Subsequently chevy stuck with the straight 6 until 1955. I am referring to
things I read many years ago, but if I have my facts straight - my point is
- the small block produced in 1955 was the same block they designed back in
1927 with only minimal changes.

Whether or not Ed Cole was designing engines for Chevy in 1927, I do not
know, but if he was 65 when he retired from GM then it seems possible he
may have worked for chevy as a young man. He may have even known Durant and
Chevrolet, now that would have been something to tell the grandkids!

Any one out there know the facts on this one?

Grant.

To change the 57 radiator position, there are different ways to tackle
it. There is actually, a different radiator support, and a different
radiator. The 6 cyl support is generally cheaper and easier to find at
swap meets, as most people are swapping in V8's and want the radiator
closer to the fan. You can buy these supports and radiators from many
of the vendors such as Cliffs. Buying the right support and radiator is
an easy and clean change. It is not absolutely necessary to replace
either the support or the radiator, but I'll explain basically how they
are different and how I have seem them modified to work. The radiator
support is the crossbar (frequently cut) that stretches between the
fenders, (there is also a bottom part) and has two vertical bars that
sit along side the radiator. These vertical bars have a flange or tab
that extends forward or back. On the V8 support bar, this tab extends
toward the engine, and on the 6, it extends toward the front. These are
just flat steel flanges with holes. The radiator has similar "L" shaped
flanges and the basic difference between v8 and 6cly, is that one points
forward, and the other type points back. Three bolts on either side of
the radiator go into the nuts welded on. If memory serves me, the nuts
are welded on the flanges mounted to the radiator. I installed an
aftermarket Griffin aluminum radiator, which had holes or slots, and no
nuts. These nuts are just something to think about if you don't stay
with stock parts. The easy modification, is to simply get two flat
metal plates, (one for either side of the radiator) drill holes to match
the existing support holes, and a matching set on the other edge. You
may even be able to buy these brackets from some of the vendors. Mount
these through the radiator support to the original bolt holes, and now
you have flanges extending to the opposite side of the radiator support.
This is at least as easy as replacing the support, but it not as clean
looking. These flanges do not need to be of heavy gauge metal. In fact
a little flexibility will likely help the fit. If you don't have the
nuts welded in, make sure you think about how you will get a nut in
position, and a wrench on it. If putting the radiator in front of the
support, make sure there is clearance for the lower radiator hose before
making the holes which mount the radiator. I have also seen cars where
the vertical parts of the radiator support spot welds were drilled out,
and the verticals swapped left to right. Again, make sure there is
clearance for the lower radiator hose. I think there are other
modifications needed with this method so that the sheet metal parts
mount to the support correctly; therefore, it is not as simple as it
sounds, but it can be done and is cleaner if one doesn't want to buy the
support. Make sure to think about how you will get a wrench on both the
bolt and nut if not welded in place when mounting the radiator. Also
think about this nut and bolt access if you have or may add a fan shroud
or air conditioning to the car as they generally mounts with the same
six bolts.

This one is simple! Actually, the men paid $9.00 a piece. Of the total
$27.00, the room cost $25.00. Effectively, they each chipped in an
additional
66-2/3 cents each so the Bellboy got $2.00.

To Tony about chrome pitting,

If your "fairly new" chrome parts were reconditioned or rechromed and
the original parts had pits that were not very well ground off then the new
pitting could be coming from the old pits. Take a close up look at a pit
and see if there is a creator like indentation around it and look at the
whole part and see if it is completely smooth or if there are any small
dents that have been chromed over. Remember pits are rust and if the old
rust is just covered up it will come back. To be sure take the worst part
to a chrome shop and ask their option.
If this is your problem your best fix is new parts. Good Luck

Pat Boone is the singer who graduated from Columbia University in NYC. In
fact, his first Dot Records album cover shows Pat sitting on the steps of
Columbia University. It contained "Tutti Frutti," "Ain't That A Shame,"
"Two
Hearts, Two Kisses," which was a 'cover' of an R&B record by The Charms.
Pat
also cut another Little Richard classic, "Long, Tall, Sally."

He was not only the second most popular rock idol of the mid and late 50s
(and, perhaps, the ONLY one our parents ALSO loved), but the 'king of the
R&B
covers,' to boot! Add to the list: "At My Front Door (Crazy Little Mama)"
by
the El Dorados, and Joe Turner's "Chains of Love." Pat had no pride:)

Of course, who could forget Pat Boone and Dinah Shore (both were from
Nashville, TN) and the weekly "Pat Boone Chevy Showroom."

Have a great week!
