Description
The '55 Chevy was a huge success with the general public. After its introduction, it was quickly dubbed "the hot one", and the public flocked to dealerships to get a look at the new car. Over 1.7 million were produced, and they accounted for nearly 23% of all car sales in the US in 1955. Although Chevrolet was already the top-selling car for several decades leading up to 1955, its appeal was mostly to older drivers. After 1955, Chevrolet had mass appeal. The '55's light weight (3,200 lbs) combined with its powerful engine and popular shoe-box body design also made it a hit with hot rodding circles and soon after, collectors. The '55 would also put Chevrolet into the motorsports arena for the first time, where it would win many races.
Today, the '55 Chevy is one of the most recognizable cars ever made, as well as one of the most highly produced domestic vehicles of its time, and is a top draw for collectors.
