We had the pleasure of driving our 1955 400 to Hershey this past October and displaying it in the HPOF class. We drove from Akron, OH on the PA turnpike at 60 mph and the car didn't miss a lick. It turned 51,000 miles on the way there. I had installed an accessory oil pressure gauge under the dash "just to make sure" and the oil pressure was about 38 - 40 pounds the whole time at speed. This car still has its original oil pump and the oil pan has never been off as far as I can tell. The tredle vac brake unit worked great, and the car has no electric fuel pump. Who says you can't drive them the way they were originally built?http://images3a.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp7339%3A%3Enu%3D3%3A33%3E986%3E258%3EWSNRCG%3D33634368%3A2349nu0mrjhttp://images5a.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp63393%3Enu%3D3%3A33%3E986%3E258%3EWSNRCG%3D33634399%3B7349nu0mrjhttp://images5a.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp63387%3Enu%3D3%3A33%3E986%3E258%3EWSNRCG%3D33634368%3B2349nu0mrj
