Hot Rod '56 Chevy

We don't know the owner of this '56 Chevy, but we're pretty sure he styled it after a popular plastic model from the 1980s. Add a snorkel scoop, a nice set of flames and some ladder bars and it would be the car. We bought the model. Needless to say, we like this car, though at $15,000, it's no cheap thrill.
The owner owner, who has the car listed in Laurel, Maryland, says the car has the eternal hot rod setup -- a fresh 350 with a Holly carburetor, a set of Thrush cherry bombs and vintage Cragers. It's also got a custom grill (which we're probably glad we can't see) and an odd cowl induction hood that looks stolen from a Camaro. We'd probably ditch the oddities for a snorkel scoop, a nice set of flames, and some ladder bars, just like Revell did it.
