Vehicle Description
There's no doubt that virtually any 1957 Chevy you come across is
going to be something special, but with its combination of great
looks, and strong, healthy drivetrain, this 1957 Chevrolet 210
Wagon offers the substantial added benefit of being ready to hit
the boulevard and turn heads just as soon as you get it home.
The Chevy 210 is so much a part of automobile lore that it would
seem it would have stuck around for a long time, but in reality,
the model was only available for a scant 5 years and was
discontinued the year this wagon came out. Like most of its other
'57 classmates, the 210 carried an ever more ornate display of
chrome as the '50s went on and you'll see that metallic finery is
in very nice form here. The two-tone adobe beige and white color
scheme complements this Chevy's form nicely and, as you step around
to the front, you can see how the tasteful colors of the paint
combine with its extensive chrome ornamentation to give this
classic a great presence. The dominant front grille blends into a
front bumper that, like its counterpart in back, is nearly new and
looks the part. Focus your gaze a little higher and you'll notice
those rocket shaped emblems on the hood that seem to optimistically
point the way forward. The long stretches of trim running the
lengths of its sides are nice and straight and sit flush to the
body, the badging is intact and well preserved and the glass on all
four sides is nice and clear.
The beige interior is nicely configured and features a combination
of cloth and vinyl carrying some great color accents on its front
and rear bench seats. Owing to this wagon's ample proportions,
there's a ton of room inside, so you and your passengers will
cruise in spacious comfort - those in back might not even reach the
front seat with their legs fully extended. Up front, the dash area
has been restored to an impressive condition, with a stretch of
clean chrome trim that runs the width of the cabin, and sports both
an era-appropriate AM/FM radio and a seriously cool analog clock to
the right of its instrument cluster. The cluster itself looks sharp
in its own right, with a set of readily readable gauges that are
assisted with a duo of aftermarket counterparts sitting just below.
The air conditioning system is in good form - blowing with
conviction to keep you and your passengers comfortable on your
journeys. Lift the tailgate in back to take a look inside, and
you'll see a very clean rear cargo area, lined with plush
carpeting.
A very strong L71 427ci/435HP V8 from a 1967 Corvette sits under
the hood, fully freshened and armed with a pair of Edelbrock heads
and intake manifold, and a Holley 4-barrel carb. The big block
sounds great as it exhales out into a pair of Headman headers, and
is mated with a 4-speed automatic transmission that's shifting
securely. Armed with power steering and power brakes - discs in
front - this is an easy driving classic, a car that you'll enjoy
taking out on the road every bit as much as you'll enjoy admiring
in your garage. A set of American Racing wheels that measure 17" in
front and 20" in back give this classic Chevy Wagon a great,
inclined stance.
If you're looking for a classic that carries a great combination of
vintage cool and hassle-free street manners, you should really
