In a world increasingly dominated by sleek, modern vehicles with cutting-edge technology the Chevrolet 55, 56, 57’s are timeless elegance and nostalgia. Picture yourself standing before this perfectly restored 56, its flawless curves and radiant paintwork glistening in the sun. Dennis and Jean have taken their time making sure got their Dream. The Blue and Gray compliment the lines and stance. The wheels are by Goose with 18×7” front and 18×8” rear. The chrome with done by D&R out of LA. Dennis purchased the 56 in 2018 and just recently finished it.
Under the hood lies a throaty LS3 out of a 2016 Camaro. The LS3 was programmed by Howell Engineering and produces 505 HP. The transmission to put the power to the pavement is a 6L80 with a Lokar shifter. The aluminum radiator by PRC Fabrication Rod and Custom. When you want to get on the freeway or anything else, a tap of the throttle moves the 56 to the “Danger Zone” before you can bat an eye. The Front suspension is a coil over from CPP. The Rear suspension was provided by a 1986 Corvette rear end made into coil over by Progressive Automotive. These suspension upgrades make the 56 to run down the road like a dream.
