used car of the day 1957 chevrolet 210 wagon

Today's used car is a wagon with fins. This 1957 Chevrolet is based in Vermont and will run you 35 grand.

There are 100K miles on the clock for this Vermont-based car, and the owner says that it's mostly, though not totally, rust-free. There is a new gas tank, new oil pan, new radiator, new choke, and a new electronic ignition. The floors are also new.

So, too, is the dual master brake cylinder, though this car has no power steering or power brakes. The brakes are all drum and the car has the 265 cubic-inch V8 and the three-on-the-tree manual transmission.

There are some other mods, such as the exhaust pipes being moved, and this is a "surf" car. The seller is moving it because he or she has some health issues and can no longer drive a manual.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

At the right price, would be a great EV conversion candidate.

That wagon isn't worth 35,000 I paid 4,700 for a 68 chevelle and worth 80,000 today, when I bought it was 10x better shape than that but if someone wants it have at it but wouldn't be me.

1995 SC Well I guess that will be the final nail in the Mini EV's coffin here. It was already not especially competitive, had no range and was way overpriced for what you get, but I like to get stuff like that used and well depreciated on occcasion though I likely would have passed anyway due to the Chinese manufacture.
MKizzy If China-branded vehicles arrive on these shores filling the gaping hole of sizes, body styles, and price points largely abandoned by established automakers, they will immediately find an interested customer base among those low/middle income consumers whose parents were (un)happily puttering around in old Hyundai Excels and Yugo GVs. Personally, I do think BYD or another of their major automakers will eventually circumvent the tariffs by building in Mexico and sending vehicles north.
Lou_BC Are you not entertained?
Urlik Why it isn’t smaller like the CX-7 was compared to the CX-9. The size is why we passed, they need a tweener again.
