For Sale: 1956 Chevrolet 210 in Las Vegas, Nevada

If that look of the Tri-Five Chevrolet era is how you roll, you are going to appreciate the work that has gone into this special 1956 210-series sedan. Long a staple of the Hot Rodding scene, this car now hosts a plethora of upgrades and is optioned with well-chosen components, beginning with its classic Chevrolet 350 CI V-8 engine. Equipped with an uncluttered, tall-element air cleaner and matched chrome valve covers, the power plant retains cast-iron exhaust manifolds for quiet operation, an aluminum intake for the 4-barrel carburetor, an electric fan in front of the radiator and serpentine belt-driven accessories. This is backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission. Further changes to its underpinnings include the lowered suspension, and this car hosts both updated power steering and a front disc brake conversion equipped with vacuum power assist as well. The mid-level model between the base 150 and Bel Air Chevrolet platforms, the 210 replaced the Styleline starting in 1953 and was discontinued after 1957 when the redesigned platform was renamed Biscayne.

On this car, there is gorgeous custom two-tone blue paintwork, highlighted by the 210s modest chrome trim. The classic bumper designs have worked-in chrome guards with some mild blending from stock. Inside is a matching cloth bench seat interior, which is now retrofitted with a digital stereo, the tilt steering column supporting a custom two-spoke soft-grip wheel, Chevrolet Bowties carefully embroidered into the seat uppers, the custom column shifter and OEM-themed instrument panel. Upon opening the decklid, one finds both a covered spare and an upholstered trunk. Other outside cues are the trademark Chevrolet-name script emblems on the rear fenders and factory V-crest insignia on the hood and decklid, the full length side chrome that descends to the bumper line and centered hood trim. The final touch on this build is a set of modern custom 20-inch five-spoke chrome wheels and low-profile radial tires, making the impression of 21st century Hot Rodding even more evident. This Chevy 210 remains a staple of the Bowtie's automotive heritage.
