Here's a photo of Dad's new Sunliner taken in the winter of '54. I was with my folks when Dad drove it off the showroom floor of Universal Motors in Akron Ohio. I'm not sure which Y-Block it had but I remember that it had the second highest HPIt had a 3 speed with overdrive and dual exhausts. I was too small to reach the pedals at 9 years old but Dad let me steer it while sitting on his lap. I've never seen another '55 painted solid Coral Mist. I loved this car and it was my first exposure to Y-Block engines. Dad traded it in for a '57 Skyliner that was pretty neat but not as cool as this '55!

You say "Coral Mist" but I see "Pepto Bismol." LOL Looks great- I had a 55 (Club Sedan) and I loved it, but I also love the '57 bodies.
