Real Cool Decorating IdeasNational Chevy,Greetings friends. Here are a few pictures of my latest creations using some extra parts from my ‘54BelAir. Feel free to share these with the readers.If many of your are like me, you’ll have some extra parts lying around, gathering dust or just stored inthe garage waiting for a new idea. So if you can talk your sweetie into using them in the house, then you are alucky man.I happen to have friends who wanted their master bathroom remodeled in a 50’s decor. Here are somecreative suggestions that I offered and we had fun using.First I took a spare ‘54 tail light bezel and made it into the light and ceiling fan switch. I had to createthe plastic backing for the switch and a way for secure mounting. As for the fan, our local auto parts store hadthe perfect chrome carburetor cover.Also, I suggested we use a ‘54 glove compartment for the [spare] toilet paper holder, which I mountedover the new chrome heater. I made the box, lined with aromatic cedar. I used cabinet door hinges and added achrome door pull to open it.* For fun, if anyone wanted, the box could also be used as a paper towel holder in the kitchen, or a breadbox. “If” your lady would let you put it in the kitchen.The tile work was simple enough. Black and white squares on the floor and a checkerboard pattern forthe shower. We did find lights for over the mirror that followed the 50’s decor look.Thanks again for all your support and diligence in providing parts for my projects, my car and nowremodels.Thayne HakeUkiah, CAJune 2012National Chevy AssociationTM5

Cover CarDear National Chevy Assn.-A totally stock ’50 Chevy Sedan Delivery wasone of my very first cars when I was about 17. Itwas a funky and faded oxidized green, and morethan a little banged up, and I got it for 150. Iloved that car, but I never got a chance to doeverything that I dreamed of doing to it. I’d onlyhad it for about six months when the 216 blewup coming over the Grapevine—a famouslybrutal highway in Southern California, where I lived back then—andthe car got impounded before I could get back to get it. I didn’t have the money to get it outof impound, so I lost it. Gone forever. Man, that broke my heart.Jump forward thirty-some years to 2006. I’d been in Wisconsin for about fifteen years by then. I wasbrowsing around on eBay one night, just looking at cars I used to own, reminiscing. Eventually I thought tolook for a sedan delivery like the one I used to have. And up popped this car that looked just like the dreams Ihad when I was 17. The restoration was about ten years old, but it was still beautiful.The description said the car had been in the seller’s family for over thirty years. I contacted the guy andhe told me it had a blown motor when they got it, and it was green—and I also found out that they got it at animpound yard in the same town in California where I’d lost mine when I was a teenager.There was no way to prove for sure that it was the same car, but I knew it was. And of course I wound uptrekking clear across the country and buying it.That was about seven years ago. I’ve replaced, rebuilt, and redone almost everything on it since then,and I figuredsince you’vecontributed somuch to thisproject, it wasabout time yougot to see it. Iam never, evergoing to let thisbaby out of mysight again.Thanks forbeing there—Ijust wish I’dfound yousooner!Tom HagensonEau Claire, WI8National Chevy AssociationTMJune 2012
