used car of the day 1957 chevrolet 210 wagon

Today's used car is a wagon with fins. This 1957 Chevrolet is based in Vermont and will run you 35 grand.

There are 100K miles on the clock for this Vermont-based car, and the owner says that it's mostly, though not totally, rust-free. There is a new gas tank, new oil pan, new radiator, new choke, and a new electronic ignition. The floors are also new.

So, too, is the dual master brake cylinder, though this car has no power steering or power brakes. The brakes are all drum and the car has the 265 cubic-inch V8 and the three-on-the-tree manual transmission.

There are some other mods, such as the exhaust pipes being moved, and this is a "surf" car. The seller is moving it because he or she has some health issues and can no longer drive a manual.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

At the right price, would be a great EV conversion candidate.

That wagon isn't worth 35,000 I paid 4,700 for a 68 chevelle and worth 80,000 today, when I bought it was 10x better shape than that but if someone wants it have at it but wouldn't be me.

Corey Lewis It's not competitive against others in the class, as my review discussed. https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/cars/chevrolet/rental-review-the-2023-chevrolet-malibu-last-domestic-midsize-standing-44502760
Turbo Is Black Magic My wife had one of these back in 06, did a ton of work to it… supercharger, full exhaust, full suspension.. it was a blast to drive even though it was still hilariously slow. Great for drive in nights, open the hatch fold the seats flat and just relax.Also this thing is a great example of how far we have come in crash safety even since just 2005… go look at these old crash tests now and I cringe at what a modern electric tank would do to this thing.
MaintenanceCosts Whenever the topic of the xB comes up…Me: "The style is fun. The combination of the box shape and the aggressive detailing is very JDM."Wife: "Those are ghetto."Me: "They're smaller than a Corolla outside and have the space of a RAV4 inside."Wife: "Those are ghetto."Me: "They're kind of fun to drive with a stick."Wife: "Those are ghetto."It's one of a few cars (including its fellow box, the Ford Flex) on which we will just never see eye to eye.
Oberkanone The alternative is a more expensive SUV. Yes, it will be missed.
Ajla I did like this one.
