1955 Chevy Restomod

Since his early youth, Ron Rauso of Long Branch, New Jersey, always had a thing for Chevy’s iconic 1955 model. It was that ever-accelerating admiration for the first-year Tri-Five that drove the teenager to snatch one up for his first dose of four-wheeled freedom shortly after earning his driver’s license.

However, years later, it was his son, Christopher, who pushed his dad to revisit his youth and procure another 1955 Chevy for their first father-son build. Even though he was short on years, the young gun stepped up and helped dad build a Bowtie that was a blend of their ideas of what a 1955 should be, no matter what the skeptics said.
