1954 Chevrolet 210 Custom
The Chevrolet 210 or Two-Ten is a midrange car from Chevrolet that was marketed from 1953 until 1957. It took its name by shortening the production series number 2100 by one digit in order to capitalize on the 1950s trend toward numerical auto names. The numerical designation “210” was also sporadically used in company literature. It replaced the Styleline DeLuxe model available in previous years. The 210 was discontinued after the 1957 model year to be replaced by the Biscayne.
Capturing an era gone by and most certainly, a true favorite of the Show Car Industry! Customs have come full circle and carry a nostalgic presence. Well thought out, they are always a crowd favorite and to get it just right, these cars require 100’s of hours in planning, tasteful creativity, extensive professional fabrication, sourcing parts and bringing it all together.
The 1954 Chevrolet 210 custom coupe looks like a classic lead sled from back in the day, complete with a chopped top, flames and lake pipes. But its most distinctive feature is the addition of custom rear fenders and the taillight fins from a mid-50s Packard.
This is an old school customized 1954 Chevrolet show car. It has a chopped top, extended rear quarter panels with Packard tail lights molded in, continental kit, dual spot lights, lake pipes, frenched head lights, custom grille, bucket seats with console. custom made fender skirts, original six cylinder engine, with split manifold and dual exhaust, automatic transmission. Super nice paint with flames and lots of custom features. This custom was built in the 1950’s in California.
Under the car there is brand new suspension, springs, leaf springs, all new gas lines and exhaust. The car is powered by a vintage 235 cid inline-6 engine with automatic transmission, though with the added incentive of triple one-barrel carburetors. No matter because this is a car for cruising low and slow, not for patching out from stoplights.
The dash, center console and door panels were custom-made. The dash is outfitted with Classic Industries gauges that look great in the center. The face of the center console is stainless steel and it extends to the rear.
Halloween always gets us thinking about famous horror-movie creepsters, from Count Dracula to Freddy Krueger, but the king of all creature features has to be the woebegone being who lumbered through the classic film Frankenstein.
It’s a lot more likely that the villagers who arrive to see this Franken-car will be carrying cameras instead of pitchforks.
