Vehicle Description
1956 Chevrolet is considered a 'pilot' car. It is the first '56
passenger car to be purchased with a dual quad motor (Corvette
engine) before dual quad motors were available in passenger cars.
It also has a padded dash and shoulder harness belts which were put
into this vehicle as an experiment. I have the original invoice
stipulating Corvette engine as a special order. (Not a copy.) I
have other documentation, magazine coverage, several letters from
the original purchaser and dealer information. I am limiting my ad
because I think this will be a car that collectors are interested
in. My '56 started life with a 265cc hydraulic lifter motor, two
4bbl carburetors, and a three-speed transmission. The 9-fin
Corvette valve covers came with the order due to it being
considered a Corvette engine. It was not a body off restoration.
The interior, stainless, chrome, and glass are like new. I see no
body panel replacement on the car or rust. I replaced the rear
third member due to it not being a '56 item. The car was drag raced
in the 1960s and now has a replacement 1956 engine block. All other
components are believed to be as per the original order. Please
