See the rumor to believe it
Traditionally, a “bomb” is a custom car made from a 1936-54 Chevrolet with a mostly original, though highly accessorized, appearance. The definition has expanded to include American makes built between the 1930s and ’50s and with more extensive customization. “Just a Rumor” epitomizes the modern bomb with a blend of new and old styles. Finished in 2015, it features ample engraved chrome, intricate muraling, and elegant pinstriping. It has an airbag suspension, a 1958 Chevy inline-6 engine with dual carburetors, and an interior that remains faithful to its original look, right down to the refurbished factory-installed radio.
