Did it look anything like these?
Something tells me, no.
In any case, 55 Chevy was the real deal!
In 1966 Daddy agreed to buy me a used car to go to college in.
We drove down to Ft. Walton Bch. and began looking. Ft. Walton Motors had a Jaguar XK-150 for $300. It needed an engine rebuild and they would do it for another $300. That was more than my Father would pay.
I ended up with a 55 Ford which ran like a bat out of hell.
Of course even if I had gotten the Jag. it would have been traded off years ago. Still I like to imagine myself driving it.

You made the right call. The Ford would run. The Jag had Lucas electrics; headlights with two settings, off and flicker.
