think was a '53. I got in a stoplight to stoplight drag race with a guy in a '66 or '67 GTO with a 4-speed (given the variation in engine speed). That LeMans had terrible traction problems, especially with the 3.55 axle, posi and 11" tires notwithstanding. That ballast in the trunk helped a lot. I was stopped at the light when they rolled up, every time.
Mine was medium metallic blue, like they all got painted back in the mid-'70s.
