I bought this black '56 Chevy 210 series 2 door pillarless hardtop in late 1957 after ! installed the OldsHealey V8 conversion. It was going to be my daily go to work car. Paid $1600 for it off the dealer's lot. It had a 283 small block with a Power Glide 2 speed tranny, yuk. Compared to the OldsHealey, it was a zero performer. After a few months I decided to install a Chevy 327 small block with a 3 speed turbo-hydro combo from the auto junk yard. What a big difference this made! This was 63 years ago and I still got it. The last time it was operational was about 6 years ago, but now its got ignition and dashboard problems that I am working on. I’ve got lots of photos but my freeby photo sharing sites are over loaded and refusing to accept new photos without fees! Soooo anyone interested can Email me at: tomcomm@impulse.net
