Vehicle Description
This restored 1956 Chevrolet 210 Wagon carries all the iconic lines
of its much more common (and expensive) coupe brothers. And it also
can carry plenty more of your favorite things with its versatile
design. So when something this distinctive and practical also comes
with tri-power V8 setup and four-on-the-floor, you know you've
found the perfect classic.
Red and white two-tone might have been available from the factory
in '56, but it never looked as good as this. The maroon has a deep
metallic element that instantly announces someone invested nicely
in this Chevy. And the ivory has the bright shine that can only
come from a more modern application. It's part of a very smooth
total package that expertly removed badging to highlights the
sleekness of the sheetmetal. Plus, the Ridler wheels staggered
18/20 inches front/rear adds to this standout modern appearance.
But even with all these updates an icon like the '56 Chevy never
loses its vintage appeal. The 1956 grille is arguably the best of
the tri-fives, as it merges the cleanliness of the previous year
with the full-width presentation that continued into '57. Plus,
this one retains all the great aircraft-inspired brightwork running
the full length of the body. And the bumpers were even re-chromed
for extra flair.
One look inside and you're instantly reminded of the large
investment in this custom build. The front buckets are a new modern
instillation that takes advantage of everything from modern
bolstering to a cup holder center console. The result is true
all-day comfort. The red and gray custom presentation seen here is
repeated on the back seats, side panels, and even the tailgate for
a full uniform presentation. And speaking of the rear hatch, that's
you're gateway to the large storage area that makes this classic
versatile for everything from a showcase area to the ultimate
tailgating friend. And while the spacious and plush interior makes
this a practical classic, you don't need to load this one down with
family and friends to have a good time. You instantly feel this
Chevy's performance atmosphere the moment you slip behind the red
and chrome steering wheel. And as you gaze across the iconic dual
cowl dash, you'll spot great upgrades like the auxiliary gauge trio
and the upgraded Sun Super Tach. That last one goes particularly
well with the Hurst shifter.
This dark engine bay is purposely designed to funnel all your
attention to the 350 cubic-inch V8. And we just love how the valve
covers had their ridges painted to match the bold Chevy orange
block. But we know what really has your attention are those three
air toppers. It's the unmistakable sign of tri-power. And while the
triple set of Rochester dual carburetors is already enough to get
performance hearts racing, this one also has other great upgrades
like a Champion aluminum radiator, MSD ignition, and long tube
headers that add even more power as they contribute to the rumble
of the dual exhaust. And you have complete control over this
powerful V8 and its thunderous soundtrack thanks to the four-speed
manual transmission. Add in front disc brakes and the grip of
modern Nexen tires, and you soon realize this is a fine-driving
wagon.
We all love a good grocery-getter that's been customized for
performance and appearance. After all, it's where your practical
head meets your enthusiast heart. So this all-around icon is ready
now for the first person to grab it. Call today!!!
