55 Chevrolet 210 Custom

This 1955 Chevrolet 210 Custom has the best paint job in the world is worth nothing without proper prep, but this car shows attention to detail on the highest level. The next mistake people make is to reuse old, dented trim and rusty chrome. Not here, though—this stuff is amazing. All of the bezels, stainless and chrome from front bumper to back, from the side stainless to the hood ornament is show quality with no excuses. The lenses are new, as well! The last thing people overlook when they’re doing a full restoration is glass. This car’s new, tinted glass is perfect and scratch-free. Wheels can make or break a car, too. American Racing Outlaw II's add a tough, classic hot rod look that’s perfect for the car.

The interior of this 55 Chevrolet 210 Custom is a nice mix of nostalgia and newer, more comfortable materials. You’re staring at an immaculate dash, painted the same blue as the body, with new trim, a trick gauge cluster with Auto Meter vintage series gauges, a Classic Autosound stereo and a lot of gorgeous trim. You’re sitting on cloth upholstery in blue and silver, the carpet's blue while the headliner's silver (different but very cool,) and the door panels use the same material as the seats.

Under the hood is a tried and true small block, here in crate motor form. 350 Cubic inches weigh in at 350hp, and it's a real smooth performer. A Holley 600cfm carb hides under a chrome air cleaner; chrome valve covers add additional sparkle. The motor exhales through a set of ceramic coated mid length headers and a true dual exhaust system. Power flows back through a TCI-built 700R4 overdrive automatic, built for long distance cruising, before ending up at a stock rear with 3.55 gears.
