It might be you then Missy, 55-57 Chevies were called shoe boxes when I was a kid, and I would be willing to bet I was a kid long before you were!

Ok I was wrong. Did some more digging around the net found a club for 55-57 chevy shoebox. Back in the early 90's you say shoebox to street rodders around this area and they say 49-51 fords 2 door sadans. Never heard a 55-57 chevy being called shoebox. Give them time,there be calling any 2 door business sadans a shoebox. And now I'd just found out last year american street rod association just changed there classicfication on street rods. Any car that is older them 30 years old and been moditfied can be conciter a street rod.That just made my hubby happy.Miss Hydro, once again, you have absolutely no clue as to what your talking about here. A 55-57 chevy is a shoe box.........
