The 1956 Chevrolet 210 Handyman Special is the automotive equivalent of your cool uncle who can fix anything with duct tape and a wink. Part of the iconic tri-five series, this beauty emerged during a time of radical change, much like the hairstyle choices of the 1950s. With its sleek design and enduring appeal, it’s no wonder these Chevys aged better than milk. Featuring a 5.3L V8 and a 4-speed automatic, this car is as smooth as a buttered biscuit on a Sunday morning.
The tri-five Chevy’s are the Bel Air, 150, 210 and Nomad wagon. This line-up is on the same platform and manufactured for three years, from1955 through ’57. These have a distinct name because they are from a significant period of change in the mid-fifties, both for Chevy and the automobile industry. These cars are an about face from previous years both in manufacturing and marketing strategies. The Tri-five Chevrolet is well designed, attractive and with a consumer appeal that has stood the test of time. Chevrolet also manufactured its 50 millionth vehicle in 1955.
