This review is from: Original Chevrolet 1955, 1956, 1957 (Hardcover)
This is a great reference for classic car enthusiasts, auto restorers, and scale modelers. Numerous clear, detailed color photos provide an unparalled visual document of the mid-fifties Chevys. The text provides excellent information on production figures and specifications for each year (55-57) as well as supplements the fine photos of perfectly restored models. This is a work that can be referred to again and again. It's a great addition to any classic car library.

This was a Father's Day gift for my husband who is tough to buy for. He is starting to restore a 56 Chevy as a hobby and this book seemed to be a great gift.
