DESCRIPTION
A cool two-tone appearance, comfy A/C interior, proper V8 power, and an overdrive transmission mean this 1955 Chevrolet 210 delivers exactly what you want when you\'re looking for a Tri-Five Chevy that can really be enjoyed.
The trim tag tells us this is wearing its correct Cashmere Blue and India Ivory color combo. The two-tone has a bright presence and a good shine from a professional and even respray later in life. It gives this an instant attraction you want from an icon like a \'55 Tri-Five. It also helps that you have the full brightwork package, including the mirror-like chrome bumpers, grille, jet hood ornament, and trim dividing the two colors. It\'s all shining beautifully. So are updates like the Cragar SS wheels that give this classic a sporty stance. Overall, this has a quality style with clean lines, doors that shut solid, a well-aligned hood, pliable weather stripping, good glass, and clean lights. It makes for a thoughtful way to show off an icon.
The black interior is tasteful against the bright exterior color theme. Fundamentals like upholstery, carpeting, trunk, and door panels are clean. It has a nice classic style appearance, right down to the working dome light. But the investment here was also about delivering a true comfy cruiser. So you have great driving upgrades like cold-blowing air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth, USB, and upgraded speakers. And the driving experience is elevated with the later Chevy steering wheel, a tilt column, and a Lokar-style floor shifter.
The 1955 Chevrolet launched the now-legendary small block era. But those center-bolt valve covers are a clue that this V8 is a later/younger upgrade. It has the features you want like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, and a serpentine belt system. The motor fires up eagerly, and headers add power and rumble to the dual exhaust. This one was built for trips near or far, and so you have a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with highway-ready overdrive. Add in power steering, power brakes, front discs, and grippy BF Goodrich tires, and it makes for an all-around awesome cruiser wrapped in an iconic package.
When you want a classic that you can drive, show, and all-around enjoy, you know this Fifty-Five checks all the right boxes. Call today!!!
