636-600-4600 Often overlooked by customers in favor of its glitzier
siblings, the Two-Ten and Bel-Air, the Chevrolet One-Fifty is
rarely seen these days but we have one at MotoeXotica Classic Cars.
This example was built at General Motors' Norwood, Ohio factory and
was sold at Dallas Chevrolet in Jackson-Wellston, Ohio. Currently
dressed in Turquoise Blue, the car's paint and trim are in overall
excellent condition. The car's windows are clear and intact along
with the headlights, which look fantastic. The car's bodywork is
straight, its engine bay is extremely tidy, and the car's chrome
bumpers fit tightly to the car's body and shine brilliantly. A
novel factoid about all 1956 full-size Chevrolets is that the
driver's side taillamp hides the fuel filler cap. Under the hood is
Chevy's well-known Blue Flame Six, a 235 CID straight six-cylinder
engine breathing through dual exhausts. It's paired to a
three-speed manual transmission with a column-mounted shifter.
Inside, the car's white vinyl and black cloth bench seats look very
sharp and are in excellent shape, as is the black carpeting and the
contrasting white headliner. The factory two-spoke steering wheel
is present. The wheel, instrument panel and inner door panels are
all in very good condition. Completing the interior is a Custom
Sound AM/FM radio. TheChevrolet One-Fifty, or150was the
economy/fleet model of theChevroletcar from 1953 to 1957. It took
its name by shortening the production series number (1500) by one
digit in order to capitalize on the numerical auto name trend of
the 1950s. The numerical designation "150" was also sporadically
used in company literature. It replaced the Styleline Special model
available in previous years. The One-Fifty was mainly conceived as
a fleet model and little effort was spent marketing it to the
average car buyer of the day, although sales weren't limited to
fleets. It was most popular with police, state governments, small
businesses, economy-minded consumers and hot rodders. Chevrolet
sold substantially fewer One-Fifties than Two-Tens or theChevrolet
Bel-Air in every year of its life; just 29,898 One-Fifties were
made in 1956. True to Chevrolet's vision, the 150 was no-frills
basic transportation. It had limited options, stark trim, solid
colors, plain heavy-duty upholstery and rubberized flooring.Small
things like ashtrays, cigarette lighters and even mirrors were
extra cost options. Compared to the mid-level Two-Ten or premium
Bel Air models, the One-Fifty was stark and bland. Body style
choices were also limited to sedans, Handyman wagons (two-door in
1955-1957). The only body styles specific to the One-Fifty were
decidedly fleet oriented� the sedan delivery (a two-door wagon
without rear windows and the rear seat removed) and the business
sedan� a two-door sedan with immobile rear windows and back seat
removed. Powertrain choices were limited to manual transmissions
and low output engines until 1954. Competition to this Chevy in
1956 included Dodge's Coronet Get-Away Sedan, Ford's Customline
Mileage Maker Sedan, Hudson's Wasp Super Four-door Sedan, Nash's
Statesman Super Four-door Sedan and Plymouth's Plaza Four-door
Sedan. This car is a testament to a simpler time, when a car could
be repaired with a set of hand tools versus a computer and you
could see the pavement or ground under the engine with the hood
open. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars to check out this rolling
piece of simplicity today before someone else puts it in their
garage. This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis,
Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 72,618 miles. It is
sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title.
