always liked these, its kind of strange as this car was far ahead of its time,it really didnt get popular until over a decade later, they were nice cars when new, but in the 60's they were cheap to buy used, dad had a '56 and i think he gave like 350 or something like that for it, and if you had a 4 door you couldn't give the thing away, in the late '60's and early '70's they started getting valuable, drag racers had discovered these cars had a stout frame under them, as well as a strong body and thanks to chevy's interchangeability and the cars large engine bay , virtually anything could be stuffed into it, add a ford 9 inch rear end and you had a pretty bullet proof race car, add a fiberglass front end from the aftermarket and the car was quick too. they started finding favor amongst the street crowd too, and their value got even more, by the 80's the resto-mod look was going and the 2 doors and convertibles were pretty pricy, especially if they were nice,stock appearing bodies and who knows what for running gear, and if restored they got downright expensive, today a fully restored to factory spec convertable is well into the 6 figures, just wish i had had the brains to grab dads old 56 i think it was a 210, but im not real sure, but like the 1968 z-28 camaro i did have, and sold, back then they were just old cars, who knew?
