When it comes to cars there might not be anything more "classic"
than the tri-five Chevrolet. If you are compiling a top 10 list of
popular classic cars and leave them off you are guaranteed to get
some pushback from the community because no list is complete with
out them. Nobody back in the day realized that between 1955 and
1957, Chevrolet would produce what became one of the most
recognizable and iconic classics of all time. There were various
body styles available and although the Wagon might have been viewed
as the "family car" back then, that has changed greatly in the
classic car hobby. Now the station wagon has become one of the most
desirable to own. This very clean 1956 150 Wagon takes those
awesome bodylines and steps it up a notch with tasteful
modifications that make it extremely road worthy. The car has
undergone a full frame off restoration and professional build to
transform it into something you can't just walk past without taking
a second look. Starting with the exterior the car is very classy,
not revealing right away the customizations hidden underneath. It
has a mostly stock appearance and is painted in a beautiful Surf
Green color with a White roof. This is then accented by the
standard 150 trim and beautiful chrome bumpers. Nothing says 50's
like tail fins which are shown off in the rear and feature those
iconic taillights, which on the drivers side open to reveal the gas
cap. These had a lot of glass with multiple windows all of which
are tinted and in good condition. The chrome rims look great on the
car and the 3 year old wide whites are perfect on a vehicle of this
vintage.
Pop the hood and this '56 starts to really show off the high
quality build it received. It now features a 6.0 LS2 motor with a
FiTech fuel injection system that provides more power than this
Wagon had ever seen before. It has been dressed up with Billet
Specialties custom valve covers and the engine compartment is very
clean throughout. It has an aftermarket aluminum radiator with
electric fan to keep it always running cool even in the Texas heat.
The motor is paired with a 4L80E automatic transmission that shifts
smoothly and a Currie 9in rear end. That is not all though because
this car received a full Ridetech suspension system, Wilwood disc
brakes, power steering and a Vintage AC!
Moving to the interior the car returns to its more subtle stock
appearance but there are still some nice modifications to be found.
The upholstery is all a nice Green/Turquoise to match the exterior
and is in excellent condition. From the carpet to the headliner
everything is in very good shape. You will also note White accents
throughout to tie in the roof color. The dash is all cleanly
painted and has the stock layout but custom gauges have been added
into the original position. It also has a very nicely painted to
match tilt column topped with a painted steering wheel. Pop the
rear gate and you will find plenty of storage space but if that is
not enough you can open up the hidden spare cover and there is some
space there to keep your car show cleaning supplies out of sight.
Throughout the interior FatMat sound proofing insulation was
applied prior to it being redone.
This beautiful wagon is in great condition and needs nothing but a
new garage to call home. You will be winning trophies in no time
and cruising to the show in comfort and style!
