Rick Nebel’s ‘55 Chevy ‘stealth truck’ is totally outrageous under the hood sporting a 6-71 supercharger with two Holley 4-barrel carburetors, 18-inch-wide rear tires and noisy side pipes. Well maybe the ‘stealth’ concept didn’t work out real well, but it’ll be playin’ the American Graffiti soundtrack Sept. 19 as a very spectacular member of the Class of ’64 Homecoming Parade entry – Go Toppers! Courtesy photo
