The year of 1955 will be remembered as a banner year for
the auto industry. A record number of cars were built and almost every company
made a profit and scored record sales. Chevrolet was no exception. The combination
of a powerful new small block V-8, sensational styling, and an unprecedented
sales year made 1955 a landmark in Chevy history. In 1955 Chevrolet manufactured
a then record 1,830,029 vehicles.
The design and engineering of the 1955 Chevy were entirely
new, and had much to do with the company's performance. Its first production
V-8 in more than 35 years was a bold and successful answer to Ford in the
performance sweepstakes. Chevrolet's grille and rakish two-toning highlighted
all new sheet metal, which was singular and unmistakable. Record production
insured that quite a few of those cars would still be around a quarter century
later. In fact, Chevrolet's record output of over six million cars in 1955-57
means that enough survive today for collectors to enjoy what, to them at
least, will always be the "classic" Chevy.
Styling, GM knew, had plenty to do with a car's sales.
Harley Earl's Chevrolet design team-Clare MacKichan, Chuck Stebbins, Bob
Veryzer, Carl Renner-worked un- der Earl's famous guideline: "Go all
the way, then back off." Earl encouraged far-out designs as the clearest
way to develop new ideas for production. Naturally the 1955 car didn't reach
production looking the way it did in early renderings, but it wasn't all
that far off. The beltline dip and wraparound windshield had been inspired
by the Cadillac Eldorado, Olds Fiesta, and Buick Skylark limited. |
