My Great Grandfather had a '56 Chevy identical to the one in the attached picture. Cherry condition. When they put him in a retirement home we went through it and there was a portable wind up Victrola like the second picture. I guess he snuck out and went dancing at night.

Years later my grandfather wished that he had kept that car when he learned how popular they had become with the young hot-rodders.
