This past weekend Vicki and so made a trip to the Detroit Autorama to see a very special 1955 Chevrolet Belair that was on display for the first time ever.

The car is a brand new build, built as a tribute to the 50 millionth car produced by General Motors.

The real 50 Millionth car was sold by GM many years ago and was lost in a garage fire in 1996.

However, thanks to a group of Avid Enthusiasts, a completely brand new 55 Chevy was built as a tribute to the real car that was gone forever.

But what nobody knew until this group of guys began trying to replicate the original, was that there wasn’t just ONE 24k Gold Plated 55 Chevy. THERE WERE 3! And all of them LOST with hardly any official documentation!

How could this happen to the most iconic and most highly celebrated brand new car in the history of The United States?

You’d be surprised…. I know I was.
