John and Linda Glass's 1955 Chevy 210 Station Wagon is more than just a car—it's a rolling testament to creativity, passion, and vision. This two-tone beauty, with its charcoal body and silver top, first caught John’s eye over two decades ago at the Pomona Swap Meet. But its journey into his hands is a story that still turns heads.

John didn’t just purchase the car; he traded his motorcycle for it on the spot. “I told the owner I’d swap my bike for his car,” John recalls with a grin. “At first, my friends thought I was crazy. But I saw something in that car no one else did—a chance to build something truly special.” The deal was sealed when the owner inspected the bike, and the two exchanged pink slips right there.

Over 23 years, the Glass family transformed the Chevy into a striking masterpiece. Its gray vinyl and naugahyde interior, accented with silver inserts, complements the elegant exterior. Beneath the hood roars a modern LS3 engine paired with a 700 R4 transmission, and the modified stock rear end with posi-traction ensures a thrilling ride. The car’s stance is completed with iconic American Mag wheels, making it a standout at any car show or event.

This wagon isn’t just for display—it’s built to drive. The Glasses use it for weekend adventures, car shows, and cruising to events. One memorable journey was to Tahoe, proving this classic can handle the open road with ease.

Though John doesn’t own similar cars, this Chevy has become a cherished member of the family. From its beginnings as a swap-meet find to its current glory, the 1955 Chevy 210 Station Wagon is a symbol of bold decisions, hard work, and the joy of bringing a dream to life.

For John and Linda Glass, every mile driven in this Chevy is another chapter in a story that will inspire car enthusiasts for generations to come.
