A 1956 Chevy waiting for restoration


Chevrolet led in outstanding, desirable design in the mid 1960s. An example is the 1956 Chevy sedan. The '56 came in three trim levels — 150, 210 and the premium Bel Air. This four-door Bel Air sedan was the most popular, with 269,798 units sold. The most powerful engine was a 4-barrel Turbo-Fire V8 with dual exhausts rated at 205 horsepower. This example was found in Grifton, N.C. (Photo by Jim Meachen)
