"Mike and Rena Woods '57 receiving a Top Ten Award at the Triple XXX on 08/17/08"

1955 Chevrolet 210 Sedan

Owners:  Steve & Jean Rummel, Newcastle, WA

My son and I had long been looking for a project car when we located this 1955 Two-Ten at the 2001 Puyallup Goodguys Show. Although the vehicle's restoration was much further along than what we had in mind, we took an instant liking to the color, its generally solid condition and profile (dropped 2" spindles & rear springs, along with a set of 17" American Racing polished rims). The car's 327 engine and 4-speed transmission convinced us this was the car we had to have.

Things done to our car:

• 605 power steering box and front disc brake conversion

• Ididit tilt steering column and Billet Specialist steering wheel

• 4-speed Richmond transmission

• Rewiring using Factory-Fit wiring system

• Griffith aluminum radiator

• Eclipse CD receiver and high performance speakers

• Lots of new chrome

• Tinted windows

• Chevy gauges

• Front and rear anti-sway bars
