Although the Tri-Five Chevy lineup may be one of the most fabled trilogies in the history of the autoverse, it often seems like the hierarchy isn't always in numerical order. While the '57 will always garner plenty of attention with its big fins, and the '55 has plenty of short-fin aficionados, one look at this 1956 Chevrolet 210, and it's clear that this car splits the difference between the two in a way only Goldilocks could appreciate. Decked out in a full red and white repaint, this clean two-tone two-door post will undoubtedly inspire plenty of double takes.
Inside, we find a restored stock-style vinyl interior with bench seats at both the front and back. Chrome dashboard trim highlighted by a 110 mph speedometer, complemented by an AM/FM/Cassette player, and the classic Chevrolet insignia and analog clock set in front of the passenger. Set up for air conditioning, though it is non-functioning at the moment, the sliding HVAC controls keep the simple things simple.
Under that signature steel hood, we find a clean engine bay highlighted by a 283 cubic-inch V-8 engine topped with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, which feeds into a Winters intake manifold. A stock-style exhaust manifold feeds a true dual exhaust system that works in unison with an aluminum radiator and electric fan to create a symphony of small-block sounds. Power funnels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission before heading out to an old-school GM dropout style 55p rear end, ultimately ending up at a set of polished chrome US Mags wheels.
