1955 Chevy 210
The 1955-57 Chevrolet may be the most representative car of an era that is called golden. These cars helped to define the automobile in a time when the car was taking on a larger role in the lives of Americans.
The cars were the idea of chief engineer of General Motors, Edward Nicholas Coles and the design genius Harley Earl. Both men pulled out all the stops to see that the cars being built would excite the American public. The cars were an instant hit, and production ran over 200,000 units per year during the three peak years. The appearance was only part of the story. It was what was under the hood that really drew the public interest. These machines introduced the small block V-8 to America. These engines have since become a fixture on the automotive landscape. The 265 CID and later the 283 CID offered a level of performance that had not been present in any car line before their arrival.
Some 40 years later these cars are still the object of desire for thousands of people. The Chevy convertibles can command $20,000-$50,000 in good shape. The sports coupe brings $18,000-$22,000 for a clean example. Even the humble little sedan two ten model is worth $8,000-$12,000 for a car in fair condition. The 1955-57 Chevys are truly golden examples of the automotive past.
