Finally found a Shoebox

Been looking for a tri-five for years, but wasn't looking to spend a fortune, and wanted one with some character... brought this one home yesterday.

1956 210 four door sedan, 75K miles, 235 six, PG, original interior and original paint. No rust, a few s****es and dings, exactly what I was looking for...

 

Nicee !

 

a few more...

 

Very nice

 

Neat, cool, nice and a bunch more...good for you. That is a nice one.
Enjoy and drive for sure!
Cheers....

 

so, when chopping-channeling-welding up extra doors-stuffing injected big block in? Ha! cool ride.

 

Thanks for the comments guys... I plan on driving and enjoying it...
here's a few more... original spare still in the trunk..

 

Nice. I like it Id lose the white letter tires and put some wide white and drive it!

 

nice car man

 

***s man!

 

Hell, by the ***le I though you had found a nice little 49/51 Ford as those are the real shoeboxes. That's a nice 56 Chevy but it's no shoebox.

 

^^^^^ what he said. I was wondering if I was the only one scratching my head..???? Nice chevy.

 

Thanks for the comments..As far as the nickname, I guess it's where your from... I've heard both referred to as shoeboxes...

Probably by the same clowns that call a distributor a "dizzy". When we grew up in the 50's and were teenagers in the 60's Shoebox only met 49/51 Ford. 56 Chevys were just 56 Chevys and the poor step sibling to 55 or 57 Chevys. Coming from the tri-5 Chevy guys around here in the late 50's early 60's shoebox would probably have been a derogatory term when discussing Fords.

Nice little 56 at any rate.

 

3**x thats like calling a 40 ford a stovebolt

 

Nice Chebby. Drive the wheels off it!

 

I thought you said you found a shoebox !

What you have there my friend is a nice 56 Chevy. Good for you.
