Vehicle Description
Quality craftsmanship leaves plenty of clues and this 1955
Chevrolet 210 is packed to the brim with them. Configured with both
an understated appearance and plenty of power at the hands of a
very experienced builder, it's in top form in all respects and
needs absolutely nothing for you to jump behind the wheel and get
maximum enjoyment out of it. Should you wish to make an impact on
the car show circuit, that's certainly an option - this outstanding
Chevy is just hair's breadth away from being fully prepared for
that, as well.
The sterling exterior on this Chevy is the first of several
indications that it was conceived with a definite purpose in mind -
maximize curb appeal not through a collection of visual tricks, but
rather through tasteful aesthetic decisions and exactingly precise
workmanship. The Ruby Red metallic shade is a definite winner -
it's tasteful yet very impactful and really draws you in for a
closer look. Meticulously applied, it's already got a deep,
consistent shine and a detailing session at the hands of a skilled
pro will take it to an undisputed show quality level. The Chevys of
this era carried quite a collection of chrome and this specimen
wears them well - both the signature egg crate grille and beefy
front bumper are looking their best and, as you take a lap around
the car, you'll see that the side and window trim are in matching
condition. The badging on display here is equally strong - even the
coloring of the hood and decklid emblems seems unusually vivid.
Inside the doors, the custom tan interior is very well-configured
and as fresh as can be. Starting with the plushly padded bench
seats lifted from a '70 Cadillac, every component inside is in
excellent condition. The attention to detail here is really
impressive - the colored accents on the door panels line up very
nicely with those on the kick panels, the glove box door is nice
and flush in its closed position and all control knobs and switches
are very clean and well aligned. The functionality is there, too -
there'll be no tweaks needed to climb behind the wheel and enjoy
this classic in all its splendor. The dash area beyond the mint
condition factory-style steering wheel is a showstopper itself,
sporting spotless trim that spans the width of the interior, as
well as gauges that all work as intended inside their fan shaped
instrument cluster. An AM/FM/CD player has been seamlessly fitted
into the center of the dash to provide your audio soundtrack while
out on the road, and the underdash air conditioning system is
operating in top form.
You'll have plenty of dependable power at your disposal in the form
of the 350 cubic inch V8 standing by under the hood. It's been
equipped with a 4-barrel carb underneath an open-element air
cleaner, as well as a mild performance cam to up its output without
throwing too much lope into the mix and has been dressed up with a
great assortment of chrome components. The powerplant teams with a
smooth shifting TH400 transmission, while a rugged Dutchman
Motorsports posi-traction rear end completes the drivetrain. A
sizable aluminum radiator has also been added up front to keep
driving temperatures under control. Power steering makes this
vintage Chevy an easy navigator, while power brakes that include
discs up front bring its set of 15" wheels with spinner-type
centers and featuring BF Goodrich T/A Radials to dependable
stops.
This 1955 Chevrolet 210 affords the chance to get behind the wheel
of a skillfully built timeless classic with outstanding curb appeal
and a tasteful, high quality interior. Call today!
