    More cars we drove

    My favorite car of the 50's was the 56 chevy nomad wagon,with the 265 power pack engine,2 four bbls and dual exhaust,in 57 that motor was turned into a 283 and 270 hp,also had a fuel injection option in the corvette in 56, but in 57 you could get the fueley in the passenger models.
