Vehicle Description
This 1955 Chevrolet 210 is the icon with all the right
cruiser-ready upgrades. It takes the chrome-king classic look you
love and adds an enhanced V8, four-on-the-floor, and a sleek
two-tone style.
The Tri-Fives were known for their two-tone presentations, but this
one likes to make sure it distinguishes itself in the first
impression. The black and silver is something a bit more daring
than what Chevy did at the factory. This two-tone has a good gloss
that loves the sunshine, and it makes for a terrific way to show
off the body lines. In fact, this is a well-presented total package
with great body panel fit, uniform gaps, clean glass, and doors
that close with confidence. And of course, we all notice the
brightwork. Everything including the jet-inspired hood ornament,
form-hugging bumpers, and artful side trim has been maintained to
keep this looking like the shining icon you love. Plus, the upgrade
to rally wheels and chrome dual exhaust tips are all part of this
car's touch of added sporty flair.
The dark gray velour interior goes well with the exterior. It's
almost like they mixed the two colors of the outside to create the
one inside. The upholstery, carpeting, door panels, and headliner
all have a harmonious gray style. There are nice classic details
such as working dome light, the AM radio there for a display, and
the bow tie pattern brightwork inserts for the dash. And you'll
really enjoy the feeling from the driver's seat. The classic grippy
steering wheel combines with the upgraded Hurst floor shifter to
give you the unique feeling of automotive history with some added
muscle behind it.
Black engine bays on black cars are always great because it makes
the bright small block V8 look like a vibrant beating heart at the
center of it all. This even has some nice details, like the
polished air grabber and Holley ribbed valve covers. This 283
cubic-inch V8 is important because the Tri-Fives launched the small
block era, and this was the largest displacement of the series.
This example gives you nice power upgrades like a Holley
four-barrel carburetor and long tube headers feeding the dual
exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. The consignor states there are
also some nice recent investments in the right supporting
components, like the starter, MSD ignition, MSD coil, brake
booster, brake lines, and upgraded front discs. It all makes for a
strong-running package, and you get complete control over it thanks
to the rebuilt four-speed manual transmission.
This is a two-tone, first-year Tri-Five built with the driving
features you want. So don't let this upgraded icon slip away. Call
