Vehicle Description
This 1955 Chevrolet 210 Handyman Wagon is a rare kin to the
legendary Nomad, but when you take this one out on the weekends,
the upgraded V8, great chrome, and A/C interior will make people
instantly recognize this two-door Chevy has a personality all of
its own.
With less than 30k produced, this 210 Handyman is quite a bit rarer
than some coveted '55 Chevys like the Bel Air hardtop and Bel Air
convertible. So, while the overall appearance of this one still
pays tribute to its more workman roots, you also can't deny it's
iconic heritage. In fact, speaking of the premium Bel Air, this has
all the great aircraft-inspired brightwork on the hood and running
down the body. And of course, there's no mistaking the stylized
chrome bumpers at both ends. All of this Bel Air style, even the
grille, was part of the midgrade 210 package, and this one looks
great without losing the spirit that makes it a 60+ year-old
classic. And more than just a great vintage appearance, this has a
little extra flair with those classic Cragar wheels with
whitewalls.
Inside is a nicely upgraded interior that still keeps its vintage
charm. The two rows of seats have been nicely re-covered in a
comfortable cloth. And the classic dual-cowl dash now even houses
modern amenities like an AM/FM/CD stereo and cold R134a air
condition. So you can carry plenty of family and friends, and they
all stay comfortable over the long haul, too. In fact, because this
has the large rear cargo area of a standard wagon, you can carry
all their stuff, too. So this is the classic that's perfect for
everything from road trips to tailgating. But even when it's just
you going for a solo cruise, this Chevy is great. The grippy
three-spoke sports steering wheel, auxiliary gauges, and B&M
shifter let you know this is a driver's machine.
The '55 Chevy launched the legendary small block, so we love to see
a version of it updated for the best power. This 350 cubic-inch V8
looks nice with the bright air topper and ribbed valve covers.
Plus, it's upgraded for performance with an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, MSD ignition, and headers
that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. But there's much more to this
Chevy than just the right V8 muscle. It has been built to be a
great anytime/anywhere cruiser with upgrades like a new McGaughy
power steering box, front disc brakes, and a 700R4 four-speed
automatic transmission w/highway-friendly overdrive.
This is an honest and authentic classic two-door wagon. It has the
spirit of the Nomad, the ethics of a Handyman, and all the upgrades
you want. Don't let this slip away, call today!
