The 1955 Chevrolet lineup was a popular one that put the automaker ahead of the competition. Some 66-years later these stunning cars are still turning heads.
Go to any car show and you are bound to find at least a few 1955-1957 Bel Airs. These stunning cars tend to draw a crowd too. People simply cannot get enough of the bold style and often brightly finished liveries. Chances are though that on at least a few occasions a lesser known 210 model was likely to be mistaken for a Bel Air. While the Bel Air often takes credit for the success of the Tri-Five, the 210 actually started this work in 1953. For the next two years the 210 acted as a bridge between the 150 and the Bel Air, offering buyers an economical luxury car of sorts. However, in 1955 the gap between the two cars tightened and in turn the Bel Air began to outsell the 210.
This custom made Chevrolet 210 restomod is a show worthy car that was clearly made to be enjoyed. No expense was spared during the build and it shows. The car is coated in a PPG Concept Base/Clear Custom "Black Jade" finish. It is riding on a Fatman Chassis that features a Mustang front suspension with a power rack and pinion, a 4-Linked Ford 9-inch rear end, and Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes. Under the hood is a fuel injected 355-cid small block Chevy engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. Inside, a fully custom leather interior proves to be both purposeful and stunning. Just a few of the features include power windows, air conditioning, a Satellite ready and BlueTooth capable stereo, and a custom trunk.
Riding on custom built 17-inch steel wheels wrapped in Nitto S55 tires, this car is clearly set up for the road but would certainly turn some heads at the car show. This 1955 Chevrolet 210 is scheduled for GAA’s July Auction. For more information on this car or how to register to place your bid click here.
