Reserve Removed: 1955 Chevrolet 210

This 1955 Chevrolet 210 is a two-door sedan which is said to have been repainted and modified by previous ownership, with highlights that include a custom two-tone black and white vinyl interior with lap belts, an electronic ignition, and a dual exhaust among more detailed below. Power comes from a 265ci small-block Chevrolet V8 fueled by a Holley two-barrel carburetor which is backed by a 3-speed column-shift manual transmission, the brakes and steering are also manual, and this Tri-Five Chevrolet is offered on a clear title name.

The two-tone white and red exterior finish is punctuated by chrome bumpers and trim, and is described as an older respray which shows wear in the form of chips and scratches, in addition to other evidence of age. Detailed photos of the quality and condition of the paint can be viewed in the gallery. Chrome and other brightwork show reflective finishes and blue dot tail lamps are fitted at the rear. The seller describes the trunk floor pan as having been replaced. Dual downturned chrome exhaust outlets empty beneath the rear bumper.

Wheels are a matching set of 15" steel items which have been painted to match the body and fitted with standard chrome hubcaps, along with a set of 205-section Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires. Handling is managed by manual steering and brakes with standard 11" drums all around.

The interior is trimmed in custom black and white quilted vinyl upholstery throughout which extends to the door panels and dash, while the instrument panel is color-matched in white. The footwells are lined with black carpet and white floor mats, windows are operated by crank, and an older vintage-style AM/FM cassette deck is fitted.

A factory-style two-spoke steering fronts the 110-mph speedometer which contains integrated dials for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer displays approximately 74,000 miles. The ignition cylinder and other switchgear surround the steering column and gauge cluster.

1955 marked the debut of the Chevrolet small-block V8 and this 210 runs a 265 which wears the corporate period color scheme of orange and blue. Fueling is handled by a two-barrel carburetor and gross output when new was 162 horsepower at 4,400 rpm with 257 pound-feet of torque at 2,200. A 3-speed column-shift manual sends power to the rear end and the seller notes the presence of an electronic ignition.
