Hello Everyone, I am parting a 1956 Hollywood Hardtop. I have a rust free hood, nice glass and lots of trim. I am parting the whole car. If anyone here has any needs just drop me a line at mcdermott6555@gmail.com. Also this car has the AMC V8 and hydramatic.

    Could be a Hornet Special , which had the shorter wheelbase and 250 AMC v8. Could be ordered with Hydramatic. Came out later in 1956.

    I remember hearing something about the 250 cid V-8 engine being a project that Kaiser was working on before they stopped production. Anyone know about that?

    I read a similar story on an AMC website (I'll try to find the link) The story went that AMC hired the engineer that was developing the V-8 program for Kaiser that was canceled when they discontinued passenger car sales in the US. He supposedly picked up at AMC where he left off at Kaiser, which made for a quick development time.

    Yep, that's the link to what I read. If Kaiser and Hudson had pooled resources to develope a V-8, it may have bought them more time in the market place.
