1957 Chevrolet 210 Pro Street Wagon

Description

This 1957 Chevrolet 210 Pro Street Wagon has won both prestigious hardware and is an asphalt-eating pro street machine. The path to this kind of distinction is by making no compromises. That means taking an iconic classic and upgrading until it looks impressively bright and slick. It's about an interior that coddles you in luxury leather while also delivering the best features for a quarter-mile king. And under the hood, there's the most beautiful big block beast you're likely ever going to find.

There's a sleekness to this wagon that reminds you why grocery-getters make the best customs. And when it comes to wagons, the '57 210 is the ideal place to start. You have the sporty two-doors look, the iconic '57 front end, wraparound rear glass, and the full-length trim is the same as the Bel Air and Nomad (an awesome build like this earns the upgraded fan-style inserts.) There was a lot of time spent making sure the panels were as near perfect as possible before the first drop of black went down. So the result is a smooth shine where the light rolls off the body like this was honed from volcanic glass. And of course, the brightwork received a serious investment, too, everywhere from the shapely pointed Dagmars to the unique trim on the two-piece tailgate. It's truly a beautiful machine, but you also know it's quite beastly. These extra-wide rear tires tuck under the bodywork nicely, but you cannot hide how meaty they are. And there's even an adjustable air ride in the rear so that you can really dial-in an intimidatingly low stance. The pictures show you how awesome the build is, and we'll tell you all the details, but we're not the only ones who appreciate this for a true top-quality build. This took home a Top 25 award from the American Tri-Five Nationals. Think of this as a Top Flight level of prestige and competitiveness, but only for the best custom and restored Tri-Fives.

The white interior goes with the black exterior to make the full package as premium as a tuxedo. But more than just looking great, the supple leather upholstery feels great. There are thoughtful details upgrades everywhere with the well-bolstered front bucket seats, an AM/FM/CD stereo, custom door panels, and a center console that hides your Painless wiring switch panel. The artful steering wheel on a tilt column, Dakota Digital gauges, and flame-kissed Hurst shifter add to the performance and elegance. And while there is a race-ready attitude, it was done with added care. That's why the race cage still has the door bars removable for an easier entrance, and while the rear has large tubbed fenders, they still made a custom rear seat. And the cargo area shows off more benefits of the wagon, as well as how this one thoughtfully mixes style and substance. Because that detailed custom rear box houses the stereo speakers, battery, and fuel cell.

Under the hood is a beautiful beast. The 548 cubic-inch is basically double the displacement you could get in 1957! But they built this with added flair, too, with plenty of polish and the classic hot rod Caddy-style air grabber. It's surrounded by an engine bay that absolutely showcases quality with its custom fabricated inner fenders and firewall. The big V8 inhales deeply with a Quick Fuel four-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock intake. There's a beautiful set of custom headers, and they add power and rumble to the side pipe exhaust. You'll also spot good supporting components like an MSD ignition and an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. As you look underneath, you can see a fully fortified build with a strong custom frame and tubular front control arms with coilovers. The rear is a reinforced four-link setup built to make sure you get the power to the pavement. And the stout TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, rack & pinion steering, and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes make for a solid package on the street or dragstrip.

If you're looking for the absolute best in a meticulously constructed, optimally equipped classic, this 1957 Chevrolet 210 Pro Street Wagon is the one to take home. Call today!!!
