Vehicle Description
This 1956 Chevrolet 210 Wagon carries all the iconic lines of its
more common (and expensive) coupe brothers. And more than just
rarity, this example shows the right mix of vintage and upgraded to
remain a solid V8 cruiser.
The '56 is an awesome car. You have the exclusive wide grille,
jet-inspired hood ornament, and full-length trim that artfully
zooms down the sides. And Chevy even gave these wagons some extra
beautiful touches, including the way the rear glass wraps around to
the tailgate. The white and aqua blue has a terrific 1950s style.
After all, two-tones and pastels are all part of the appeal from
this era. It has the right overall finish where the gloss of the
paint looks good against all that brightwork that divides the
colors, but at the same time, this one doesn't try to look like a
trailer queen you'll be afraid to drive. In fact, pieces like the
bright dual exhaust tips and modern size 17-inch wheels are part of
the right thoughtful upgrades that make this classic wagon a true
cruiser.
The interior is the right mix of iconic style and real comfort. The
two-tone of the exterior returns on the dash. It has the great dual
cowl design, and it goes with the chrome ring steering wheel for
plenty of vintage flair. The way the doors close with confidence
tells you the classic sheet metal has been treated with care. The
seats are the classic bench style, but these two rows have been
recovered in velour for added comfort. And the carpeting and side
panels have been done to coordinate. The split tailgate gives you
access to the large cargo area, which makes this perfect for
everything from showcasing your company's product to enjoying a
ball game. It's a true driver, and so you get the right upgrades
like a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner with aux input for better
driving music. The well-integrated auxiliary gauges give you better
info, and the Bosch column-mounted tach goes well with the floor
shifter.
The V8 under the hood is an upgrade, but that's a secret you'll
have to volunteer because it looks so correct. They really gave it
the right look with the Chevrolet script valve covers, bold paint,
and big oil batch air grabber. This is even a 283 cubic-inch V8,
the largest from the Tri-Five series. The motor fires up nicely as
it makes the right tune out of the Flowmaster dual exhaust. This is
the kind of classic that likes you to feel the road, but with the
smooth-shifting four-speed and modern sport tires, it also is a
confident driver.
This is the rare Tri-Five grocery-getter that gives you the iconic
style you love in a true driver-ready package. So it's time to hit
the road in this Chevy wagon. Call now!
