1954 Chevrolet 210

Description

This Chevy 210 is affordable fun in the kind of vintage coupe that's disappearing from the classic car scene. What a great car to take to local cruise-ins and enjoy with your family on a trip to the local ice cream parlor.

Detroit was happy to awaken after WWII with plenty of stylized cars. This meant providing new ideas with interesting curvaceous bodies. And of course there was chrome, too. On this 210 model chrome surrounds every piece of glass, runs the full length of the side, outlines the lower rear fender, covers both bumpers, surrounds every exterior light, and give the car a shiny toothy grille. Possibly the most sought-after piece of trim is the bright hood ornament that reminds us all that this is the beginning of the jet age. All of this makes the car so distinctive today. This Chevrolet 210 probably started as a mundane family hauler, but now its perseverance has paid off and has a great classic look that anyone can appreciate.

Inside it's a time capsule. The option lists were a lot shorter in 1954, which gives this car an uncluttered appearance of a simpler time. The steering column is uncomplicated with a big wheel to help make turning a breeze. Behind it are just two stalks – one for the turn signal and the other to shift the manual transmission. Despite this coupe's simplicity, the gauge cluster is quite informative. It has info for the fuel, water temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The Surf Green accents represent the original exterior color of this car, and add some nice distinction to the tan seating. Because this is a true 1950s car, there are the traditional chrome accents on places like the doors, wheel, and the dashboard. The two rows of benches feel like cushy cloth couches, and everyone gets to roll down their own window.

Open up the hood and the honesty of this classic coupe continues. Chevrolet only had one engine choice this year to rely on for everything from the Corvette to its pickup trucks. The 235 cubic-inch Blue Flame six-cylinder motor provide reliable power, and good torque, to keep its chrome machines cruising down the road. For those who want to get the most out of this engine, the three-speed manual transmission is the best choice to have, and there's just a real retro cool feeling about operating the 'three on the tree' column shifter. Others that haven't driven one will be impressed as well.

This Chevrolet 210 is a real driver that turns heads because of its features. It hasn't been gutted or hot rodded, Instead, it's an honest and affordable coupe that represents true 1950s motoring. Call today to enjoy!!!
