The Model: Almost from the day the 1955 Chevrolets hit the market,
owners have been adding their own special touches, trying to make a
good thing even better. For 1955, Chevrolet was offered in three
basic trim levels, the 150 which was aimed at economy and fleet
buyers such as police cars and taxi cabs; the 210 which was
marketed towards growing families and was among the most popular
models sold, and the Belair, which was also a family car but with a
bit more chrome trim, flair and interior appointments. Regardless
of the model, customizers took stock and made it their own car.
However, looking back 60+ years ago, some builders today are seeing
the beauty of the original design, but are adding their own touches
with special colors, wheels, passenger compartment updates and most
importantly, what is under the hood. The builder of this beautiful
creation captured that train of thought.
The Car: Finished in a Bright White and dazzling Gold Metallic,
what started as a 210 sedan was upgraded with a full set of Belair
trim for exterior d�cor, while the interior was given a full
make-over providing the occupants an enjoyable and comfortable
ride. Under the hood resides a mighty "350" cubic inch V8 that
starts easy and runs strong. It is backed up by a Borg-Warner T-10
4-speed transmission, which goes through the gears like a hot-knife
through butter. Seats have been covered in a gray cloth that is
inviting and no mistaking what type of car you are driving with the
bow-tie logo emblazoned on the rear seat. Factory Rally wheels are
mounted to the car with the under-stated blackwall radial tires and
the rumble from the exhaust lets others know you mean business. Our
consignor reports that this is one of the most civilized rides he
has driven. Ready for the spring-time cruises or a day at the park,
this is a design that is hard to improve upon and it can be yours.
