1955 Chevy? |

Looks like 1955 Chevrolet Two-Ten to me |

It is Two-Ten. No chrome moldings on the fender (unlike Bel Airs), but I can't see the "Chevrolet" script badge at the side fenders, the thing Bel Air never had (instead, the "Bel Air" script badge is near the slant body chrome molding). So, Two-Ten "Townsman," which I think the four-door Two-Ten wagons were called from 1955-57. For comparison: 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air side molding example: (Bel Air Sport Coupe and convertible shown) Link to "oldcarbrochures.org" 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air "Beauville" wagon example (Bel Air "Beauville" used the same body side molding style as all Two-Ten models have, but just like the other Bel Airs, it has the fender side chrome moldings the Two-Tens never have) Link to "i.pinimg.com" 1955 Chevrolet Two-Ten side molding example: (Two-Ten "Handyman" wagon shown) Link to "oldcarbrochures.org" -- Last edit: 2021-01-22 18:34:41 |

That is the trouble finding the appropriate body style for this Two-Ten wagon series from here -- Last edit: 2021-01-22 19:30:44 |

Yeah, that's because if you see a Two-Ten on a far distance, you would think it's a Bel Air, thanks to its body side moldings being too similar to the Bel Air. Unless if you don't know how to spot the differences, you would know if that particular '55 is a Bel Air or a Two-Ten. This usually goes to: 4-door post sedans (considering that the '55 Chevys never have a 4-door hardtop until '56), 2-door post-sedans, and even station wagons. I know how to spot a One-Fifty, because '55 One-Fifties never have chrome trim at all. |
