Vehicle Description
This 1956 Chevrolet 210 hardtop sedan has a great two-tone
appearance, a correct-style V8, and one of the coolest profiles
going. So when something this distinct is also quite affordable,
then it's a deal worth digging into deeper.
The '56 Chevy has remained the enduring motoring icon because of
how well it represented what we wanted in the 1950s: artful colors,
plenty of chrome, and rocket-inspired designs. And this one does it
best. First of all, it's a hardtop sedan, so that pillarless
hardtop profile is longer than even on the coupes. And the two-tone
is timeless. The trim tag tells us this was born an India Ivory and
Onyx Black car. The color was updated later in life to make sure it
remains looking bright while staying vintage. And speaking of
vintage, the full-length trim does a great job of separating the
two colors along the body. And with the roof in black, this one can
earn itself a nickname like Oreo. And all the best pieces are still
in place, including the '56 car's exclusive grille, wraparound
chrome bumpers, jet-inspired hood ornament, rear fender skirts, and
classic wheel covers with iconic whitewalls.
Because the pillarless hardtop makes it easy for people to get a
good look inside, they made sure that the interior was impressive.
The silvery gray fabric pattern on the seats is pure vintage cool,
and the side panels even match. And it goes well with the creamy
white outlining the seats, door panels, and headliner. It all has a
great vintage feel with details, like the thin steering wheel, an
AM radio that's there for display, and a correct-style spare in the
trunk with jack instruction still in place. And there are even the
right additions, like the classic traffic light viewer on the dash,
and the handy oil pressure gauge under the heat controls.
Part of what makes these cars a legend is that the Tri-Fives were
the ones to introduce the Chevy small block V8. So you'll be happy
to lift the hood and see a 265 cubic-inch V8 boldly radiating from
within the dark engine bay. It has a terrifically correct look with
cursive script valve covers, a generator, and a huge factory oil
bath air cleaner on top. This has a four-barrel carburetor and a
dual exhaust to give you extra pep on the streets and the right V8
tune. And the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission has a
great vintage feel.
A hardtop sedan is a great classic that gives you more space to
appreciate the profile you love. And the 210 version was sold in
such few numbers that it's rarer than even a '56 Bel Air
convertible! So if you want a very cool collectible icon, don't
miss this hardtop. Call now!
