As a follow up to the June 2025 Theme Challenge – Vintage Cars, My wife and I had not expected to have an opportunity this month to photograph a beautiful blue 1955 Chevy 150. We saw it parked off to the side of a local Walmart and man did it stand out. So we thought we’d would post the resulting photos and story behind the car as a result of speaking with the owner and taking some photos.

The owners name is James and he was very pleased that we took an interest in his car and that we asked to take photos. After we sent the photos to James, we asked him to give us some background about the car and here is the story he shared.

“The car is a 1955 Chevrolet 150 but sports a few parts off of the more expensive 210 model as well as the top model Bel Air. I bought it from a gentleman in Porters Lake, Nova Scotia, for $500 in 1969 who had purchased it from a resident of Shediac, New Brunswick. The car was originally made in Oshawa, Ontario Canada, the colour is cashmere blue and originally an automatic 6 cylinder 235 cubic inch engine.The restoration has been extensive and expensive and at the time these cars were more likely to be laughed at than admired. I can still recall driving up main street Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, in the early 70’s, and a fella hanging out the rear window of an approaching car full of teens yelling I’ll give you 50 bucks as loud as he could. I didn’t have time to tell him he probably didn’t have 50 bucks.”

It was a very bright sunny day which made taking the photos a bit more challenging, but I was happy with the results and I hope you like them as well. I also decided to include some of the photos in a collage. Share with us your stories and photo’s from this month’s Vintage Car Theme Challenge.
