@Chookiesmith – Now I feel doubly bad to miss it again, as I won't buy without inspecting a car these days because I have been ripped off on auction forums. I have to work so I can't make the trip right now, but that is a great example of a great rest-o-mod 55. I wish you the best on this 55. ...

Good thing it is being sold from my dealership, Sir, so you have plenty of time

@Chookiesmith – Wasn't this care listed here once before or is this a different 55 with the same flame paint? I love 55s but can there be two nearly alike? ...

It is the same one that didn't sell so we ran it again.

@Gunslinger – I should have made it more clear...I was asking about the lower, outside portion of the driver's seat. Thanks ...

I am still not sure what you are seeing. These seats never came in a '55 Chevy, so not sure what part you think is broken, but I assure you it is not.

@Revheads – The back of the seat is laid back instead of directly straight up and down. ...
