My dad bought a new one in 1955 - he was a senior in high school at the time....and worked as a stock boy in a grocery store ! Of course - it was before he was married - and he still lived at home - but I can't imagine a high school kid buying a new car today !
This is my mother's car when I was a kid. I remember launching snowballs at it from across our backyard in Connecticut. Snowballs did no damage to it - at all. It was a tank!
My first car was a 56 super 88 hardtop blue and white. I'll never forget that padded dash. You could beat your head against it all day with no pain... Amazing Chrome around the head liner. They sure don't make them like they used to...
WE HAD A 56 88 AND IT HAD HOLIDAY WHERE THIS ONE HAS 88 IT WAS SPELLED OUT IN CHROME LETTERS FRONT FINDER NOT SURE THIS IS A HOLIDAY OURS WAS A 4 DOOR HARDTOP WITH AUTO DIMMER AND DUAL SPOTLIGHTS IT ONLY HAD 88 ON THE TRUNK

@@jamesvincentguitar1 My mom's was black and white (white instead of the green) I personally think the green is a repaint.
Love it!
You drive a hard bargain... I'll take a dozen 😄
I found one under an oak tree for $250.00 and it ran !
