Hey, if a Cadillac can be created from a Chevy Cavalier, why can't a Beretta spawn this. Ugh.

Looks like a '55 Clipper Super sedan to me, but the sellwe claims it's a 1956:

This could be a beautiful car, but this 1 has some very obvious flaws. Who dreamt up this color combo? It's not my cup of tea. The data plate is not original and the numbers are not for this car. That ugly alternator is an eyesore. What's up with the angle of the gearshift? That's just the tip of the iceberg.

On that white car, I find pre-war cars painted white completely incorrect and odd. When I mean white, I mean white, not cream/ivory or any other yellowish-white color. White was traditionally reserved for service vehicles (police/ambulance/milk truck/construction/plumbers/etc). So every time time I see someone paint a pre-war car white, I always think "There goes another milk wagon!". Just my opinion.

go to all maroon and it's a pretty car (well, a quart of engine enamel wouldn't hurt, either). Any info on the gearshift?

Wow, that's garish to a fault. Is Barnum & Bailey missing one of their circus wagons?

And get rid of that hideous oil filter and buggered oil lines from the cooler - a replacement filter in the correct configuration has been available for a long time.
