My new 150

Hi! My first real car in 1970 was a 1957 150 business sedan with no rear seat, no radio and no clock. Fortunately it had a heater. 6 cylinder/3-speed. Earlier this year I bought another 150 to hopefully be my last old car so I can bookend all my rides with 150's. This one is a factory 283/220 horse with a 3-speed but now has a Muncie 4-speed. Again, no radio or clock. It's back on the street after 40+ years of garage storage. It's rough but rust-free and it's mine!Attachment 12313

Many people (including myself) would love to find a 'rough' '57 150 like that one... (Doesn't look too rough to me).. :)'

Sweet '57 150 you have there! I had several '55 business coupes over the years and the 150 business coupe remains my favourite body style.

What are your plans for your newest 150?

Happy Motoring,

Harry

Gonna make sure everything works and then drive it for a year before I fix up the interior. The amateur body and paint may stay that way for years as I plan to make it a regular use driver alongside my rat van.

Update on my 57. Block dates June 19th but do not think it is original to car. Car dates mid-July. Next up is conversion to alternator as generator is non-op.

If you block has provisions for side motor mounts it is a later block.
