Hello! I am Gregory and I am from Greece. My father had an autobody repair and paint shop, which I now run, so I have been with cars all of my life. I always loved American cars of the '50s and after searching very hard, I finally managed to find a 2 door sedan 1954 Chevy BelAir!
I actually had to go through an interview by the owner in order to buy it. He wanted to make sure the new owner would restore it. I must add it is in a deplorable condition and missing most of it's things, such as the engine, transmission, front seat etc. Here in Greece there are no parts for this car. After searching the internet I found ebay, from where I started buying things. I am still relatively new in this area and would like to get to know more about American cars. I have restored some European cars but they have nothing to do with the '50s American cars!
Hope to meet you all and share our mutual admiration for these cars.

I love the Bel-Airs, but I just can't appreciate how hard they would be to find outside the US. Great find!
