Vehicle Description
This 1956 Chevrolet 210 is a true all-American classic that has
been upgraded for flair and offered at a terrific price. Of course,
V8 power and four-on-the-floor are what really has you hooked.
The Tri-Five Chevys are iconic, and the middle child '56s are
arguably the best of the breed. It has a very sporty look with the
wide and sleek front grille, the 210's sweeping side trim, and
those artful taillights that remind us all that this was the jet
age. Not only is the white paint vivid on this one, but that also
means you really notice all the bright work. Someone invested
nicely in making sure those chrome king bumpers shine like mirrors.
Plus, there are some great subtle upgrades like the half-chrome
headlights, window awnings, and Rally wheels with spinner centers.
It's a total package that you could easily imaging it running up
and down Woodward Ave on a Saturday night back in the day... and
this one really did. The original paperwork that comes with the
sale shows this American icon was first sold in Detroit!
Inside is more of that great custom flair. The full red interior
has an attention-grabbing presence against the exterior white, and
the velour seating has a great sense of vintage cool. Plus, when
you sit down, you instantly feel the extra comfort over the factory
vinyl. There are some cool upgrades like and AM/FM/cassette stereo
and power locks with keyless entry, but this one also never loses
its vintage appeal. After all, we all love the stylish dual cowl
dash that was similar to the Corvette. And speaking of the 'Vette,
this classic does feel like a sports car. You get a terrific wood
and chrome steering wheel, and mounted on the steering column is a
Sun Super Tach. And that last one goes particularly well with the
Hurst shifter.
Under the hood is a nice V8 presentation with plenty of bright
flair and Chevy bow ties. You can also tell they were serious about
building performance into this one. The Tri-Fives were the dawn of
the small block era, but this one has definitely been given some
upgrades. The 327 cubic-inch motor was larger than anything offered
in '56, and now it also has a Holley four-barrel carburetor and a
hi-rise performance intake. Plus, the right supporting components
like the steel braded hoses, professional grade fasteners, and the
aluminum radiator are exactly what you want to see. You get a nice
growl out of the glasspack-style dual exhaust, and you're in
complete control of this soundtrack thanks to the Muncie four-speed
manual transmission. Out on the street, the power steering, front
disc brakes, and wide BF Goodrich T/As keep this '56 Chevy feeling
confident.
A cool icon with a great history is up for grabs. And at this
price, you know it will be moving fast. Call now!
