Awesome ‘54
Last May 25th we brought you a post on the 9th Annual Gasoline Alley Birthday Bash at Eldorado Park in North Las Vegas. We promised then to bring you more on the Awesome ‘54 Chevy 2-door hardtop we spied there. Today, we make good on that promise. This slammed metal masterpiece owned by Troy & Lois Summers is a real work of art with a ton of old skewl style and definitely worthy of a second look. After all, this kandy purple ride is chopped, channeled and extended with over 150 body modifications. Many are obvious - some more subtle. All are worth sharing.
In true Las Vegas style, dice ride proudly atop the dual recessed antennas. Pinstripe graphics are everywhere.
Looking down, cool pipes sit a mere fraction on an inch over the grass.
A cool mural adorns the spare tire cover in the back - airbrush art is credited to Barry Johnson.
Inside, beautiful paint, pinstripes, and lots of chrome make this ride stand out from the others. The fuzzy dice bring back memories of an era past.
The ultra-clean engine compartment features a balanced, bored and blue printed 350ci motor with lots of polished aluminum, stainless steel, chrome and anodized metals attached to a Turbo 400 automatic tranny.
Giving credit where credit is due. Great job everyone for putting together a cool ride, and for sharing.
Trackback to May 28 Gasoline Alley’s Birthday Bash on the Grass for more great rides and hot rods.
