1956 Chevrolet 210

Description

This 1956 Chevrolet 210 has been given the right investment to have a cool cruiser attitude, strong V8 power, four-on-the-floor, and an overall look and feel that tells you this ionic sedan was made to be enjoyed to the fullest.

This Chevy makes the right first impression. The Nassau Blue is the factory-correct color, and it that was resprayed later in life and so it has the kind of gloss that will attract attention. Of course, when you're talking about shine, the real star of these Chevys is the brightwork. So the wraparound bumpers have a mirror-like style, the special '56 grille looks awesome, and the jet-age hood ornament proudly leads the way. And because the body panels are so straight, the full-length trim looks like an unbroken line all the way down the car. Plus, there's plenty of terrific street machine style. Half chrome headlights, blue-dot taillights, window breezies, tinted windows, and 15-inch Cragar SS wheels all give this a true custom style.

Inside, there's more blue, and now it's joined with white for a two-tone appearance. It's nicely detailed with pieces like the comfy cloth inserts on both rows of seats, and there's bright trim separating the two colors on the door panels. The trunk has a custom panel with a Chevy bow tie, and this also has a Kenwood AM/FM/CD stereo deck mounted back there (you control it from a console neatly mounted under the dash.) When you slip behind the classic Chevy steering wheel, you get an instant tingle of performance thanks to upgrades like the SunPro tach, auxiliary gauges, and a Hurst Indy shifter on the floor.

The Tri-Five era was the dawn of the small block at Chevy, and so it's great to have a period-correct V8 still under the hood. The 283 cubic-inch displacement is important because it was the largest available in this generation. However, you can instantly see that this bright and tidy motor was also built for added performance. It has upgraded like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Weiand aluminum intake, cast valve covers, and headers feeding the dual exhaust. There are even cutouts for when you want to bring some added thunder to the streets. And everything from Mallory distributor to Accel ignition tell you this was built to run. As you see everything from the super clean undercarriage to the wide BF Goodrich T/As, you realize this one is also a confident cruiser. So it's great to have the four-speed manual transmission to give you proper control over it all.

Here's a true V8 icon that was made to be enjoyed no matter if you're polishing it in your garage, at the show, or on the highway. Call today!!!
