Thanks,I'm confused,as usual |

It's not a Two-ten, but a Bel-Air. The side trim is specific. But it's a strange car. The side trim is the one of a 1956 Bel-Air, but the front grille is of a 1955 Chevrolet. |

Maybe a Two-Ten with added Bel-Air-like side trim? |

Maybe it is 150, witch had no side chromes at all, added with 1956 Bel Air chromes. |

I don't think it could be a 150, as the car is a 2-door hardtop, and there were no 2-door hardtops in the 150 series. No, it's really strange. Many details indicate a 1955 Chevrolet (front and rear wings, grille, rear and front lights), but with a 1956 side trim. Here is a 1955 Chevrolet http://www.trombinoscar.com/chevpostwar/cv5513.html And here is a 1956 http://www.trombinoscar.com/chevpostwar/cv5603.html -- Last edit: 2006-12-20 23:52:18 |

The car is a 55 Chevy with the 56 Belair trim. |

Def. a 1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air two door hardtop (Hardtop only available in Bel-Air line in 1955) with 1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air side trim. The tail lights cinched it. FYI, 1955 and 1956 Chevrolet front clips are totally interchangeable. Cowl and door lines are the same. |

Chevy called the 2d Hardtop a "Sport Coupé" from 1955. In fact, there was such a 210 Sport Coupé, as Trombino cars quotes: 2 portes 6 places Sport Coupe, 11 675 unités de $1959 (6cyl) et $2058 (V8). Model designation is 2154. This car is much rarer than the Bel Air Sport Coupé model 2454 ( Bel Air is series 240), of which 185'562 were built (source: Production Figure Book for US Cars). My guess is a 1955 (because of front clip and tail lights)showing '56 Bel Air Trim. To define 210 or Bel Air would afford to see the interior, as the original outside trim is removed. (1956 Bel Airs have gold anodized brightwork behind the chrome bars of the grille, other 56s have silver). My "experience" is only with kits and scale models, but I'm sure that doors of 1955 and 56 will interchange (probably even with 55/56 Pontiacs on shorter wheelbase), but I am not with front fenders - at least not without reworking. Check the "lip" at the lower body end of the 55, that also surrounds front and rear wheel cutouts. The 1956 Chevy not only lost that "lip" completely, it adds a body line that starts on the inner side of the headlamp, surrounds it, goes straight back and surrounds the front wheel cutout before fading into the the sill. I am also not so sure that tail lights interchange, as rear fenders are new, too. The wheel cutout is completeley different, the fender is bolder without a pod on which the tail light sits. Maybe the wider grille of the '56 fits over grille and position lamp openings. On the the other side: Why should it when both fenders and grille are reworked, anyway? http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2901/1955belairsportcoupev83or2.jpg 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupé Model 5424. http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2469/1956belairsportcoupev8au6.jpg 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupé Model 5424. I looked for examples without the often seen optional chrome sill trim to show the "lip" mentioned above. -- Last edit: 2007-03-07 21:57:30 |

These are a 1955 AND 1956 Chevrolet "Combo" that has/have been modified to create a home-made hybrid that most people can't possibly understand as the iconic old Chevrolet; the car represents something to moviegoers, but is a mish-mosh of cobbled-together crap to please the untrained eye. |

This is actually 1955 Chevrolet with 1956 Bel Air side trim. |
