Reminds me of a similar mashup in Belton, Texas years ago. The owner of an old car salvage yard picked up[ a restored '57 Nomad that had been wrecked (hard offset right front impact). He rebuilt the car with a '55 front clip AND dash!

He had several '55 four-door sedans in his inventory back then, so he sliced off what he needed (not much of a market for tri-five Chevy four-door sedans), and welded the new cowl on. He added the '57 dash, cowl, front floor, and lower a-pillars piece off the '57, to his parts inventory.

The restored '57 was Desert Turquoise, but the new car was painted black with red/yellow flames. He replaced the spinner wheelcovers and stock rims with 15 x 7 Chevy rally wheels, which were painted to match the flames.

Couldn't find a picture...
