Well I was looking on craigslist just to see what was for sale, and I found this http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/cto/2758806596.html a 1956 Bel Air 4dr hardtop for $700. I have never seen one in person and was wondering how rare are they? I don't have the space or the money to buy this, but someone here might and I wanted to share it with all of ya.
One of 103,602 built in '56 Decent deal for $700, looks solid and lots of good parts on it, could be saved with a donor car.
They only made the 4 door hardtops in 56 and 57.Potential for a valuable car. And I think they are great looking.
These are really cool cars, for the number shown produced not many remain around today. I think Chevy called these The Sport Sedan. My Salina pal Poverty Flats has a beautiful 57 Sport Sedan, these cars rock. ~sololobo~
Hell get it!!! I would try and talk em down to 550, got my 55 chevy for 300 bucks sittin in a field much like that one.
fossilfish: 53 4-door hardtop?? Really? Did he do the customization, or someone else? http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/chevyresto/53008.htm
The dash looks pretty beat but the car has the four door ht pieces you need. They make nice family cruisers and or are great for hauling the whole brigade out to dinner or bar hopping. The original colors were even my favorite color combination for that year.
there was one on ebay alittle while back, it was knock out restoration. i would have like to have bought it. it only got high bid of 17 grand if i remember and it didnt meet reserve.
I have a friend that has a 56 210 4 door hard top. Dunno how rare that is considering the 4dr HT was usually a Bel Air from what ive read.
In 1975 I went to look at a "55 Chevy Bel-Air 2 dr hdtp" that was advertised in the paper for $250. When I got there it was a '55 210 2 dr sedan, but I bought it anyway. First year for 4 dr hdtp for Chevrolet was 1956. Just so you know.
theres only a couple models and years of cars where 4 doors are cool as hell, you my friend are looking at one. dont be a bitch and ask people on the net for advise, go buy it.
First year for 4 door hardtop in the Chevrolet line; available as a Bel Air or a 210 (much rarer) Sport Sedan. Butch/56sedandelivery.
my aunt had a 56 4dr hardtop. turquoise and white. never really cared for the 56's. 55's were my favorite Chevy. my dad had a 56 Chrysler Windsor Nassau 250 2dr that was a much cooler car than her Chevy. it was white with a gold and black 300-style interior. nice. the Chevy isn't rare....just interesting.
No I saw the car it was a 53 or maybe a 54 had no post 4 door and it was a Belair. I almost bought it. It was even in the original paint.
you can find some great deals on craigslist.thats what led me to my mysterymotor intake.yesterday i bought a set of early 70's z28/chevelle 15" ralleys w/rings and caps,also had 4 nice viper tires on them for $200.00 even threw in 5th for spare
I know this is an old thread resurrected, but I always thought that the '57 210 4-DR hardtop was the rare one.
