not a 55 or a 56 Chevy, the contours are wrong:



it MAY be a 57 Chevy although most kits were like this one:

Jim,

Thank you Sir, best guess yet, sorry to take so long to respond but was not subscribed to post.

Hope someone will be able to confirm your thoughts.

This should be it. A Buick buddy figured it out for me today.

Sure looks like the same one to me!
