It was a spectical, thats for sure, and saying that I've been in a 55 3 Fold, not tons of people can say that!..Have you done anything since you've gotten it running like the headlights and the abundance of turn signals working again?

Nice ride!
I like the bus wheels and the extra scoop on the top edge of the engine lid! I agree with the other post, don't change a thing.  |

and before anyone says "that car is suppose to have bubbles not hearts" I dont have any bubbles yet so I put my hearts on it. So earlier in this thread it was brought up about the odd speedo that is og to this car, check it out, the semaphore indicator reminds me of a bus speedo.

Yepp - seems there were some shenanigans going on with the late '54 Year Model.
I like the uniqueness of this speedo for Oct/Nov/Dec of '54:

| That huge lever in the center is the ejector seat, John. Be sure to disable the explosive charge before removing the controls. |
