Seller's comments about 1955' Chevrolet 210
Offered here is a very solid, driver-ready 1955 Chevrolet 210 Townsman 4-door wagon, finished in an eye-catching turquoise/green with matching interior and powered by a column-shifted three-speed manual. The car retains its Fisher Body cowl tag and Chevrolet VIN plate, which help confirm what this wagon was when it left the factory.
ID & Body Tag Information
Cowl / Body Tag (firewall):
STYLE NO: 55-1062F
55 = 1955 model year
1062F = Chevrolet 210 series Townsman 4-door station wagon, 6-passenger, built by Fisher Body
BODY NO: CL 26188
CL = Cleveland, Ohio Fisher Body plant
26188 = sequential Fisher body number for this style
TRIM NO: 515
515 = Green vinyl & cloth interior, bench seats, 210 Townsman specification
PAINT NO: 599
599 = originally a green/turquoise exterior finish (a medium green tone very close to whats on the car now)
TOP: (not stamped standard painted steel roof rather than a contrasting color)
ACC: EZI
EZI = factory E-Z-Eye tinted glass option
VIN plate (drivers A-pillar):
VIN begins with B55 followed by the assembly sequence number:
B = 210 series
55 = 1955 model year
The remaining digits are the cars unique serial number. Combined with the body tag, this confirms it as a genuine 55 210 Townsman wagon, not a later clone or rebadged body.
Mechanical & Driving Details
Engine: Period-correct Chevrolet inline-6 (typical fitment for a B-series 210 wagon), smooth and torquey ideal for cruising.
Transmission: 3-speed column-shift manual ( three on the tree ) engages cleanly and gives the car that authentic mid-50s driving feel.
Drivetrain & Suspension: Traditional rear-wheel drive with coil/leaf suspension that rides comfortably and feels tight for a 1955 chassis.
Brakes & Steering: Manual steering and manual drum brakes, just as it left the factory, offering a very original driving experience.
(If youve owned old Chevys before, this one will feel instantly familiar: easy to row through the gears, plenty of low-end pull, and a relaxed highway gait.)
Exterior
Finished in a rich turquoise/green that suits the era perfectly and ties in nicely with the original paint code 599 from the cowl tag.
Straight body lines with good panel fit for a 1950s wagon; doors shut solidly.
Chrome and stainless trim present and bright, with the characteristic 210 side moldings and wagon-specific rear quarters
Classic 2-piece wagon tailgate and large greenhouse area with the factory tinted E-Z-Eye glass all around, giving a slightly green hue and reducing glare.
The car presents as a very attractive driver: not an over-restored trailer queen, but a wagon you can proudly show and actually use.
Interior
The photos show a tidy, color-coordinated cabin:
Correct green bench seats front and rear consistent with trim code 515, upholstered in vinyl with horizontal pleats
Matching green door panels and interior metal, including the dash and steering column, all in a harmonious shade closely matching the original Fisher trim specification.
Classic 55 Chevrolet dash with sweeping speedometer, original switchgear, and bright trim.
Large steering wheel with full horn ring, column-mounted 3-speed shifter, and period-correct pedal set.
Headliner and interior moldings present well; the wagon cargo area is usable and ready for luggage, coolers, or swap-meet finds.
This is a very inviting cabin you get that unmistakable 1950s Chevrolet look, but in a practical family/utility body.
