I've always found daily drivers more interesting than show cars, and have usually preferred 4-doors to 2-doors. Thus, I was delighted to see this '56 Chevy 210 a few weeks ago. The original Blueflame 6 is gone, replaced by a small-block Chevy V8, probably a 350. I think the hidden fuel filler cap is very cool! Note the single-chamber master cylinder - that would be a worthwhile upgrade.
The previous owner had painted the roof silver. A complete restoration is planned by the present owner.
The interior shot appears to show a column-mounted manual shift lever.
I assume the new engine is running GM's HEI distributor, but forgot to check.
Anyway, this was a delightful find.
