I am new here. I just bought back my old 56 that I sold back in 1993 to buy my families first house. I have looked several times for it but came up empty handed until.... My mom passed away and an old freind stopped by and we started talking of my old car. He knew where it was and gave me directions. 2 months later I had made an offer on it and after some negotiation I paid for it today. It was odd becuase it was tied up in a probated will. It is strange how things come in and out of ones life...

Wish I could find my '56 2-door HT Belaire that I sold in 1977. I would buy it back. Drove it from California after getting out of the military, met my wife, married, she got pregnant and I sold it for $900. Who would have guessed what they would be worth today? Oh well....that's life. Welcome Alan......Bill
