    That looks like a late '55 2-door sedan, just so you know. There was a mid-year change to a wraparound ("Ultra-Vista" in Stude-speak) windshield, and at the same time the Commander engine was changed to a 259ci engine (was previously a 224.) When you get into the car, you'll have to remember this when looking in the shop manual or parts books - some parts will be labeled "before serial xxxx" or "after serial xxxx" and your car will fall in the later half of the '55 model year.

    Looks like a nice, solid find. Let us know what you find when you start getting into the mechanicals and we'll try to help.

          Wow Lau; that's a pretty rare model, a Body type F4 Deluxe 2 door sedan! They have that big vertical chrome trim over the body seam between the 1/4 panel and the rear fender...way cool![^]
