This station wagon model was introduced in 1955 and lasted for three years. It is an innovative design inspired apparently from the Corvette front end and tail lights. It also shared styling elements with the Cadillac. The production lasted until 1957. It was expensive and only a few were sold. It is considered as a collectible station wagon. It was equipped with the new modern Chevrolet v-8 overhead engine when on sale but the original engine has been changed. For 1956 the car had received a light styling change with a horizontal bar grille and revised Tail lights. - Area Notes
