This 1956 Chevrolet Handyman is a TV star that has its flame-kissed
style by Chip Foose. So it's already irresistible before you check
out the fuel-injected V8, custom interior, overdrive transmission,
and everything else that makes this an awesome custom cruiser.
If you were a fan of comedian Christopher Titus' show in the 2000s,
then you probably know this car. If you buy a DVD today or see
press photos, you're likely to even see this Chevy. It was a focal
point of the show, and it was a personal vehicle in real life for
Titus. And because Chip Foose is a friend, it's not just this name
on the 17-inch wheels. It's been noted that the flames on the
tailfin and roof were laid out by Foose. Plus, we love a '56 for
the wraparound bumpers, full-length side trim, and exclusive
grille. It only gets more attractive on the 210 two-door wagon
body. After all, it gives you the wraparound rear glass like a
Nomad, and these are even rarer than a Bel Air drop-top. This one
has the lowered stance, sleek style, bright red paint, and custom
pinstriping make for a great street machine. And a street machine
is exactly how you should view this. It has an unmistakable custom
style with a build and a finfish that was meant for easy enjoyment
out on the road.
Open the door, and you'll see more great signs of investment. The
cream leather upholstery has the instant look of premium. We love
how the seats are modern-style front buckets that give you a nice
classic tuck and roll style insert. The rear seat and sides were
also done to match. The exterior red returns on the carpeting,
dash, piping, seatbelts, and even the steering wheel grip for a
thoughtful level of coordination throughout this car. You have
desirable great modern conveniences like an AM/FM/CD/XM touchscreen
radio w/Bluetooth, an armrest center console, and provisions for
air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) And
as a great driver's car, you have upgrades like the sports steering
wheel on a tilt column, white-faced gauges, and a B&M
shifter.
The engine bay has something special, too. You have a polished
presentation of a 350 cubic-inch V8 that has upgrades like a cold
air intake and ram-jet fuel injection. And because this is a true
driver you have some good upgrades for everyday use. The aluminum
radiator w/electric fan helps keep this one running cool even when
you're in traffic. And the four-speed automatic transmission has
highway-friendly overdrive. Plus, there's power steering, power
brakes, and front discs. That makes this custom the perfect choice
for driving near or far.
This is a star-car with rarity, power, and pedigree. So don't miss
an awesome opportunity at a one-of-a-kind. Call today!!!
