As was the '57. I had one that my brother got from his Grandma in law. Kind of battered up in a few places, but very low miles & very solid. Big Brother had put a 4 spd Muncie in it prior to selling it to me for a couple hundred bucks.
That 265 purred so quietly folks could be leaning on the front fenders & not even know the engine was running. Then I had to go & hotrod the car with a 327, and it was silent no more.
