Twin brothers Roger and Ron Meehling have been inseparable since they were born in 1955.
They grew up together in Huntington, West Virginia, and now live across the river in Proctorville, Ohio, where they built houses next door to one another.The brothers have owned a number of ’55 and other Tri-Five Chevys over the years, but had never owned one of the rare 1955 150 Business Coupes.
That changed when they found the car in Circleville, Ohio, about a hundred miles from their houses, four or five years ago. Despite it being in rough shape, they knew it was an opportunity they couldn’t pass up.
They had gotten to know local builder Dale Crace in the Ohio automotive scene and took it to his home shop in Chesapeake just a few miles away. He disassembled the entire car and restored it to its original condition, down to the black paint and black-and-silver interior, doing all of the mechanical, cosmetic and the majority of the interior work himself (a close friend named Benny Christian helped with the front seat). The build took about a year and was finished in late 2018.
“Every screw, nut, bolt, and the glass is brand new on this car,” Ron Meehling said. “And he worked on it every day for eight hours.”
Builder Crace believes it is like a new car.
“You can buy every piece to it,” he said. “So that’s what we did. Anything that needed replaced we bought brand new, we got the best that you could buy.”
Many of those parts came from Cars Incorporated in Rochester, Michigan.
