1955 Chevrolet 210 Restomod

Despite its previous success, a huge turning point came for Chevrolet in 1955. The Bel Air name had been used in previous years but the world was now introduced to what would be known as the "tri-five" cars. These have become iconic in the classic car collector hobby with each of the 3 years from 1955 to 1957 having their own distinct design. 1955 was also credited with being the first successful Chevy introduced with an optional V8 motor. These cars remain very popular with entire clubs and car shows dedicated to their preservation. This cool '55 Chevrolet is a good solid car and painted in a Dark Navy Blue paired with White. It has been fitted with Bel Air trim that has a nice shine and looks great. The front and rear bumpers are nicely chromed and the rear is a California bumper which allows you to move the license plate off of the deck lid. It has a nice chrome window trim and the glass on it is all good with a slight tint. The lights are all stock and all work properly. The car rides on a set of nice 15 inch Cragar Street Pro chrome wheels and new tires.

During the rebuild the car received a 350 V8 motor that runs smooth. This makes working on the car a breeze as parts for these motors are readily available. It has been built up with an aluminum intake, Edelbrock carburetor, chrome Chevy bowtie valve covers, chrome Chevy bowtie Air cleaner, and Hedman headers feeding into the dual exhaust and Turbo mufflers. A nice addition was a battery cutoff added to the firewall so you can keep your battery charged while not in use. Matched up to the motor is a smooth shifting automatic transmission and 10 bolt rear end. Power steering has been added to the car as well as power brakes (disc front) which make it a very comfortable driver.

The interior of it is custom with nice high back custom bucket seats with tweed upholstery. It has a custom center console that houses the shifter and a storage compartments. The dash is painted to match the exterior and features the original style trim, gauges and an aftermarket AM/FM/CD/MP3/MWA stereo. The stereo sounds great and also features a MA Audio subwoofer and amp in the trunk plus door panel and package tray speakers. In addition to the original gauges and underdash pod was added for oil pressure, amp, and temp gauges. A chrome tilt column has been added and is topped off with a nice Banjo steering wheel. The trunk houses the stereo equipment and the spare.

This is a nice solid '55 that is ready to find a new home!
