1953 CHEVROLET 210 HANDYMAN WAGON
1953 CHEVROLET 210 HANDYMAN WAGON
This is a very very RARE old car. It has spent almost its entire life in Puerto Rico. It has only been owned by two families. This car has been kept indoors its whole life.
Here is the story on this all original 1953 Handyman. When the original owner passed away it was purchased by another gentleman in Puerto Rico in 1989 when it had 59k miles on it. He has had the car since that time. This car has not been restored, it has only been maintained. It was painted in 1989 and the interior was reupholstered in 1989 also. This car has 80k original miles on her today and she runs and drives out great. The little six cylinder engine (235 ci) starts and sounds great with no smoking or knocking. It has a 3 speed manual transmission on the column that shifts and sounds great, with no hang ups or grinding. The wagon is in great shape to be an original unrestored car. It is extremely solid with no rust showing anywhere that I have found. All of the stainless is in good condition with very minor dents or imperfections. All of the chrome is also in very good condition and looks very good. It has some imperfections and is not a restored show car, but it is a great unrestored survivor car!!!!!!!! This car is a true head turner anywhere I take it. Take a look at the pictures and if you would like more information of this car please give me a call.
*******THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FOR THIS CAR TO BE ON THE MARKET, SO TAKE A LOOK BECAUSE YOU DONT FIND A TRUE SURVIVOR LIKE THIS VERY OFTEN!!!!******
