1956 CHEVY BEL AIR / BEAUVILLE STATION WAGON -- 1 OF 13279 Video Clips. Duration : 2.18 Mins.

Here is another great restoration of a rare wagon. I haven't seen a 56 Chevy wagon in decades so I was delighted to see this extraordinary example. 1956 was another banner year for Chevy selling over one and half million units. There are three levels of 56 Chevys: the 150, the 210, and the Bel Air. All three had the 2 and 4 door sedans and all three had a station wagon. The 150 wagon was called the Handyman, the 210 had the Beauville, Townsman, and an upgraded Handyman, and the Bel Air had the Beauville and Nomad wagon. This example would cost around 82 and weighed 3506 lbs. Engine choices for all levels were the L-head 6, 235 / 140, V8's 265 / 162 - 170 with manual or Powerglide, and the 265 / 205 - 225 for all models. Perusing this wagon is eye candy for it is simply a beautiful restoration with a popular India Ivory over Nassau Blue paint. There were 10 solid color offerings and 14 two-tone offerings. All paint colors this year were exciting. ( Wish we could have such great color choices today ). But another feature here is the vintage vignette of fifties golf clubs, coolers, and picnic baskets plus a drive-in restaurant food tray holding vintage articles. It's a time machine! Thanks very much for viewing this gorgeous 1956 Chevy station wagon.
