Vehicle Description
This 1954 Chevy 210 is affordable fun in the kind of vintage coupe
that's disappearing from the classic car scene. So when you can
find one with all the right investments and care over all these
decades, you know you're looking at something special.
This Chevy is believed to be a Florida car all its life. It has had
four owners who have seemed to have loved it correctly. After all,
you cannot survive 60+ years and look this complete, unless you
were often given the good spot in the garage, and there were plenty
of the right investment along the way. And speaking of investments,
you know that black paint was a solid one. It shines so boldly in
the pictures, and this more modern application looks even better in
person. Plus, the way the light rolls off it, this makes for a
terrific way to showcase how well the sheetmetal fits and how
beautifully rounded the curves of the rear fenders are. With paint
and body like this, only the best brightwork will do. Freshly
re-dipped bumpers keep those chrome kings mirror-like. And
everything is just as bright and complete everywhere else,
including the wide toothy grille, full-length trim, and factory
wheel covers. Possibly the most sought-after piece of trim is the
bright hood ornament that reminds us all that this is the beginning
of the jet age. All of this makes the car so distinctive today.
Inside there have been nice investments to make this feel like a
time capsule. The option lists were a lot shorter in 1954, which
gives this car an uncluttered appearance of a simpler time. The
steering column is uncomplicated with a big wheel to help make
turning a breeze. Behind it are just two stalks - one for the turn
signal and the other to shift the manual transmission. Despite this
coupe's simplicity, the gauge cluster is quite informative. It has
info for the fuel, water temperature, oil pressure, and voltage.
Next to that, the AM radio is still cranking out the tunes. Because
this is a true 1950s car, there are the traditional chrome accents
on places like the doors, wheel, and the dashboard. The two rows of
benches feel like cushy cloth couches, and everybody gets to roll
down their own window.
Open up the hood, and the distinction of correctness continues.
From within the dark engine bay and beneath the oil bath air
cleaner, you see the distinct glow of a GM legend. Chevrolet only
had one engine choice this year to rely on for everything from the
Corvette to its pickup trucks. The 235 cubic-inch Blue Flame
six-cylinder motor provides reliable power and good torque to keep
this chrome machines cruising down the road. And while this engine
is believed to be original, it was recently rebuilt to continue the
tradition of reliable motoring. For those who want to get the most
out of this Blue Flame, the three-speed manual transmission is the
best choice to have. Plus, there's just a real retro cool feeling
about operating the three-on-the-tree column shifter.
There was over $30K invested in this stellar total package. This
Chevrolet 210 is a real driver that turns heads because of its
vintage elegance. It hasn't been gutted or hot rodded. Instead,
it's an honest and carefully enjoyed coupe that represents true
1950s motoring. Are you ready to write the next chapter in its
