Chevrolet 210

It was actually the best-selling Chevrolet model during 1953 and 54, offering a balance of style and luxury appointments unavailable in the base 150 series, but was less costly than the glitzy Bel Air.

Unlike the 150 series, Two-Tens were always available with the same luxury options as the Bel Air, including the Powerglide automatic transmission, power window lifts and seat adjuster.

Two engines were used in each of the 1953-54 model years, the more powerful Blue Flame unit used with the Powerglide automatic transmission.

The Two-Ten shared the wedge-shaped side trim with the Bel Air, but unlike the Bel Air (which had the wedge filled with an aluminum trim panel) the Two-Ten's wedge was painted either body color, or top color with the optional two-tone paint package.

Other models are less valuable, but again, can be purchased for less money than Bel Airs, for Chevrolet collectors on a budget.

Unlike the One-Fifty series, Two-Tens do sport a fair amount of chrome trim and de luxe interior appointments, making them attractive and comfortable.

Holden in Australia assembled 1955 Chevrolet 4-door sedans based on the 210 although the 210 name was not used for the Australian market.

[1] The Australian assembled cars featured seats upholstered in leather and floors covered in wool carpet.

[4] The 1956 sedans were equipped with six cylinder engines and three speed manual transmissions, which were carried over from the 1955 model.
