Vehicle Description
This 1954 Chevy 210 is affordable fun in the kind of vintage coupe
that's disappearing from the classic car scene. So when you can
find a sedan with all the right investments and care over all these
decades, you know you're looking at something special.
This Chevy is rapidly approaching its 70th birthday. You cannot
continue to look this good and complete unless you were given the
right respect and plenty of the right investment along the way. In
fact, the story we're told is that the grandson restored his
grandfather's car after he passed. This labor of love started with
the paint. It has a similar tone to 1954's Mariner Blue, but there
is a metallic element here that lets you know it's a shining
classic. Plus, the way the light rolls off it, makes for a terrific
way to showcase how well the sheet metal fits and how beautifully
rounded the curves of the rear fenders are. And the white roof and
whitewall tires make for a stylish two-tone. All the brightwork is
complete, including the wide toothy grille, full-length trim, and
factory-style wheel covers. Possibly the most sought-after piece of
trim is the bright hood ornament that reminds us all that this is
the beginning of the jet age. All of this makes the car so
distinctive today.
The dark and white continue inside, and there have been nice
investments to make this feel like a time capsule. The two-tone is
not only intertwined on the seats, doors, and dash, but also even
places like the trunk. The options list was a lot shorter in 1954,
which gives this car an uncluttered appearance of a simpler time.
The steering column is uncomplicated with a big wheel to help make
turning a breeze. Behind it are just two stalks: one for the turn
signal and the other to shift the manual transmission. Despite this
sedan's simplicity, the gauge cluster is quite informative. It has
info for the fuel, water temperature, oil pressure, and voltage.
And while the AM radio is there for display, there's actually an
AM/FM/CD stereo w/USB input in the glovebox to give you the best in
modern driving music.
Open up the hood, and the distinction of correctness continues.
From within the dark engine bay and beneath the oil bath air
cleaner, you see the distinct glow of a GM legend. Chevrolet only
had one engine base this year to rely on for everything from the
Corvette to its pickup trucks. The 235 cubic-inch six-cylinder
motor provides reliable power and good torque to keep this chrome
machine cruising down the road. It even has a glasspack style dual
exhaust for a nice tune. For those who want to get the most out of
this motor, the three-speed manual transmission is the best choice
to have. Plus, there's just a real retro-cool feeling about
operating the three-on-the-tree column shifter.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, build receipts,
and restoration photos. This Chevrolet 210 is a real driver that
turns heads because of its vintage elegance. It hasn't been gutted
or hot-rodded. Instead, it's an honest and carefully enjoyed sedan
that represents true 1950s motoring. Are you ready to write the
