Vehicle Description
This 1955 Chevrolet 210 Wagon takes a favorite family classic and
gives it even more easy cruiser appeal. That means this two-tone
grocery-getter now has features like an enhanced V8 and a
cold-blowing A/C interior.
The orange metallic has an almost red-line appearance, and the
white roof is pure 1950s cool. So the two-tone sets the right
overall personality of this car. After all, you get great classic
pieces like the jet-inspired side trim, wraparound chrome bumper,
unique '55 grille, wraparound rear glass, and handy two-piece
tailgate. But you can also see this one goes for a more modern
appeal with features like the bright dual exhaust tips, deeply
tinted windows, and American Racing Torq Thrust wheels. The '55
Chevy is an icon, and overall, this is very much a driver-quality
example. So those who need perfection may just see this as a good
base for a restoration. But what driver-quality also means is that
it's driver-ready, and that's the real heart of the appeal here. As
you look over the full package, you'll see a wagon that was given
the right investments to be the kind of fun cruiser you take out on
a whim.
The interior has an inviting style that's great for a wagon. The
seats look great with the piping and pleats that mimic the classic
Tri-Five Chevy style, but the brown velour makes for a much more
cushy/comfy experience. And it looks stylish with the door panels
and newer carpeting done to coordinate. You have a true classic
style with the double-hump dash and the Delco AM radio there for a
display. But now you have cruiser-ready features, like a grippy
wood-rimmed steering wheel, seatbelts in both rows, and
cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. And that big cargo area is
perfect for tailgating or just swallowing another vintage
project.
The Tri-Five Chevys launched the legendary small block, and the 283
cubic-inch unit was the largest in their time. So it's great to
have an era-correct powerhouse under the hood. We all know these
motors have a hardy construction that loves upgrades, and so this
takes advantage of evolution and adds extra pep with a Proform
four-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake. And
there are also features for a better all-around cruiser, like a
newer alternator and an aluminum radiator. Plus, the transmission
is a TH400 three-speed automatic. That means you have smooth
shifting today and a hardy construction to handle just about any
performance upgrades you may want to do in the future. Power
steering, power brakes, front discs, and wide modern tires make it
an all-around solid cruiser.
This is a true icon made to be a true cruiser. So if you love a
cool grocery-getter, this '55 is ready for you. Call today!!!
