Sweet pics Mark!TomThanks Tom,just noticed that myself! pretty rare sleeper on that LT,an "Aero-Liner" all aluminum i believe.Those LT pictures were taken in 1955,so the Chevy in picture 3 would have been brand new!..............................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

At one time I wanted to be a Grey Dog driver.This one had been a four speed,IIRC it was sent out by Greyhound for conversion before they retired them ( engine,trans. etc.) i wish i could remember,but i think it originally had 2 V-6 detroits in line? it was a very early production model,and i was told they were very problematic,next time i talk to my friend,i'll ask him more about it............................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.
