1954 Chevrolet 210 / Bel Air Deluxe Sedan Chevy Two-Ten 235 Beautiful!


Straight out of the sock hops, drive-ins, American Graffiti, and Back to the Future comes this lovingly restored 1954 Chevrolet Two-Ten. It has a correct-era 235 cu in inline-6 with a 3-speed manual transmission on the column. This car is a beauty, a looker, and a stunner. The gorgeous cherry red paint and bright shiny chrome make this car gleam in the sunshine. Hopefully you can see that in the photos. Overall the paint is excellent. This is a professional-grade restoration-quality paint job done to a very high standard.


The chrome is bright and shiny but does have some pitting here and there. The one exception is the wheels which are mirror-shiny and in perfect shape.

The interior is nice as well. The dash has been repainted in the restoration and looks fantastic. The seats have been recovered, although with a non-original fabric. The original fabric remains beneath. The headliner is new and in spotless condition. The carpets have been replaced with all-weather carpeting.


Mechanically this car is ready to cruise. I just installed a new set of spark plugs and wires and it fires up easily! I have taken it on several multi-hour trips recently and it is a true joy to drive. This classic is a one-car car show wherever you go. If you don't like people coming up and complementing the car and asking questions this car isn't for you. The motor does not smoke. It idles nicely and drives even better. The brakes are surprisingly good for a car of this vintage. I just had a wheel cylinder replaced. They are manual brakes so some adjustment in driving style is necessary. It shifts through the gears nicely and will cruise along at 60 all day long. The tires are nearly new. The exhaust is in good shape and even features some glass-packs. It has a nice throaty sound thats not too noisy. The ride is cushy and comfortable. Load this beauty up with some friends and take it out for ice cream.


The underside is in very good shape. The frame is solid as heck.


The negatives: 4 of the side windows have hairline cracks in them. I priced these out to between $35-$47 per window. They still keep the rain out and go up and down just fine. The paint, as nice as it is, does have some flaws there are a few scratches and dings and a few tiny bubbles. There are some small spots of missing clear that do not affect the overall shine. The original AM radio does not work. Big surprise I know. There is a modern radio/cd player that works just fine installed under the dash. The blower motor does not work, but the ram-air vents keep the air circulating. There is a small oil drip, probably coming from the oil pan gasket.  The clutch does exhibit some very minor chattering.  The title reads miles in excess of mechanical limits but is otherwise clear.



I did some further research into the exact model of the car because the title says it is a Bel Air. It appears that in 1954 the difference between the 150, 210, and Bel Air was largely the exterior horizontal trim strip and accompanying badges. Since this car has had those deleted in the restoration process it makes little difference at this point. For the Chevy purists the build code is 1069w which should correspond to the two-ten. For the non-purists the title says Bel Air and go with that.

I cannot guarantee that I know about every single problem/imperfection that this car has.  I have done my best to give you a good sense of the car, beyond that it is your responsibility to come look at the car for yourself.  Please call me to make an appointment to see the car.  Please also be aware that more imperfections can be found in person than from photos.  Expect this.  If you plan to drive the car a long distance away be advised that you do so at your own financial risk.  Plan on having to spend some money on upgrades and maintenance.  Overall please be realistic.  This is an old car and we live in an imperfect world.

GM laying off more than 4,000 workers Monday morning

Sat, Feb 2 2019

According to reports from Automotive News, The Detroit News, and CNN, General Motors plans to begin laying off more than 4,000 salaried workers starting Monday morning. In a statement to AN, a spokesperson for the automaker said, "We are not confirming timing. Our employees are our priority. We will communicate with them first." We've been expecting layoffs at General Motors since November, 2018. At the time, the Detroit-based automaker announced it would seek to shed 8,100 salaried employees, shut down five assembly plants in North America, and kill off several slow-selling models. One month earlier, GM offered buyout packages to 18,000 workers and said it would seek to cut its global workforce by 25 percent. A spokesperson said at the time the moves were "proactive steps to get ahead of the curve by accelerating our efforts to address overall business performance." The cost-cutting moves are expected to save GM up to $2.5 billion in 2019 and as much as $6 billion by 2020. David Kudla, CEO and chief investment strategist of Mainstay Capital Management, referred to the impending culling as "Black Monday" and told The Detroit News that the layoffs would begin around 7:30 a.m. and continue in waves throughout the coming days and weeks. GM plans to deliver on its fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 earnings report on Wednesday. President Donald Trump plans to deliver the annual State of the Union address a day earlier on Tuesday. We expect to hear plenty more from both sides over the next several days.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Which of these five plug-ins should win the 2017 Green Car of the Year?

Tue, Nov 8 2016

It's going to be a competitive race for the 2017 Green Car Of The Year. With a minivan in the running for the first time in ages, the five finalists announced by Green Car Journal today include five very different plug-in vehicles. As Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, said in a statement, "electrification is now considered by most automakers an essential technology for current and future high-efficiency models." Let's check out the list: Toyota Prius Prime, the updated plug-in version of the world's best-selling hybrid. Chevy Bolt, GM's all-new entry into the long-range EV game. Chrysler Pacifica, a family hauler with the ability to go 30 miles on electric power. Kia Optima. The nomination is for the full line-up, but really the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models are the green stars here. BMW 330e iPerformance, one of the automaker's many new plug-in hybrids that bring battery power to models outside the i sub-brand. Green Car Journal will announce the winners at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17th, along with some, "other green transportation announcements," whatever that means. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt, the first model to snatch up two wins. Which do you think should win this year?
