Sweet memories of my 1956 Chevrolet 210 sedan.


I just converted these old photos from 35 mm to jpeg form of my long past 1956 Chevrolet 210 sedan. This 56 i owned from April 1981 to November of 1984 and i sold it to buy a 57 Bel Air hardtop. The car was originally blue, i painted it white in 1982 and then added the red in 1983. This 56 originally came from British Columbia and that explained the mint solid body on it. All the original floor, body mounts, quarters, trunk area and the under body was still painted in its original blue in most areas. The 56 came with the original 235 Blue Flame 140 h.p. inline six and three speed on the column. There were very few options on it, only radio, front seat belts and bypass oil filter unit. I added many other dealer accessories to the car to snazz it up and make it more enjoyable to drive. The car won five awards during the 1983-1984 seasons, which i still have. I enjoyed working on, driving and showing this car but i had an itch for a 57, so i sold it. I have not seen this 56 since i sold it, so i wonder what happened to it. Has any one here in Ontario ever seen this car in their travels. I kind of wish i still had her. Cheers. George.

That is a nice looking car. My 56 210 was also originally light blue and came from BC. My friend has a 56 210 painted the same color as yours but his was a brown NS car.

Nice car George. It's ironic you post these photos as I just saw an ad on Kijiji for a 56 Chevy with 25000 miles located 5 minutes from my place.
