1956 Chevrolet 210 review from North America
"They are better stock than modified"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The cars gas tank wasn't cleaned of rust, and constantly clogged the fuel filter.
The generator went out and got a NOS one.
Besides that, it was very nice to drive and have. It was a 2nd owner car, and was sitting in a field for over 15 years, and I just pulled it home, did some mechanical work, and took it out for a drive, and that is why all this happened.
General comments?
57 Chevy's are nicer stock, because once you get used to the soft gas pedal, big steering wheels, and vinyl seats, and the awesome heaters they put in old cars, it beats anything new when it comes to comfort.
The steering was fast and sharp, and it didn't have power steering, and when moving or not it turns like a feather. It bounces and takes potholes like cloud 9. You would never have to worry about hitting potholes and slamming down in this car.
The passenger bay is very roomy, warm, and safe. Lots of metal around you, and you can see almost 360 with few obstructions.
The big dash with large gauges and knobs, makes this a car for old and young; the kind of car to get.
