Cookees Drive-In has acquired a 1956 Chevrolet! We wanted something that we could have in our Cruise Nights, as well as in other cruises and car shows. We will be working on it ourselves, as well as getting help from some Pleasanton folks to help us get the car restored. Stay tuned and we will post pictures as we go along.

Detroit true-trac posi, 31 spline moser axles, 3:73 richmond, Wilwood
disc conversion to the rear, new 5 leaf spring with poly bushings. New

This is where the project came to a stop. The body is some what solid

be redone. Also needs a floor sections. Body mounts are good. Trunk is
excel. Interior would need every thing but is all their including 2dr.

nearly 13k invested. Thanks
