Classic Design Retain in Custom Build 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 Silver and
Dazzling Orange/Copper 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. This is a design that is hard to improve
upon and it can be yours.
