The 1956 Chevrolet was the middle model in what has become collectively known as the "Tri-Fives". Slightly dressier than the groundbreaking 1955, the '56 Chevy came in three models- the top of the line Bel Air, the mid-line Two-Ten Series and the base One-Fifty. With a base price of $1,971 over 56,000 Del Ray Club Coupes found their way to new homes in 1956. The Del Ray was part of the Two-Ten series but was given some interior upgrades, including all-vinyl seats with additional foam rubber padding, a lighted glove compartment, two door armrests and carpeting in place of rubber mats. Today the '56 Del Ray is still a popular model although these days the classic shoebox look is often updated with good looking large diameter wheels wearing low profile rubber.
Features
Stock and Modern 20” diameter custom wheels and tires
Factory stock or modern lowered suspension with 4 wheel disc brakes
Detailed small block engine with stock and custom parts
Molded in white, transparent red and clear with chrome plated parts and soft black tires
Parts: 153
The Chevrolet Delray, named after the Delray neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan, debuted in 1954 as an optional trim level on two-door models of Chevrolet's mid-range 210 series of cars. In 1958, it became a distinct series of its own at the bottom of Chevy's lineup (replacing the discontinued 150), and added a four-door sedan, and sedan delivery, but it only remained in production for that model year.
For the Tri-Five years the Delray was essentially an interior option package for the plain 210 two door sedan. It featured an upgraded vinyl upholstery with "waffle-like" pleating, color-keyed to the exterior, along with carpeting and other minor upgrades.
1955
The 1955 model year marked the introduction of a new chassis and the debut of the Chevrolet's well-received small block V8. The center door frame was strengthened for more safety.[8] Brakes were 11-inch (280 mm) drums.[9] A 210 buyer was free to choose any Chevy powertrain option. The ammeter and oil pressure gauges were changed to warning lights.

The Chevrolet Two-Ten, or 210, was the midrange model of the Chevrolet car from 1953 to 1957. It took its name by shortening the production series number (2100) by one digit in order to capitalize on the 1950s trend toward numerical auto names. The numerical designation '"210"' was also sporadically used in company literature. It replaced the Styleline DeLuxe model available in previous years. The Two-Ten was discontinued after the 1957 model year to be replaced by the Biscayne.
The Two-Ten series, introduced for the 1953 model year, replaced the Styleline DeLuxe series. It was actually the best-selling Chevrolet model during 1953 and 54, offering a balance of style and luxury appointments unavailable in the base 150 series, but was less costly than the glitzy Bel Air. Two-Tens offered the widest choice of body styles for 1953, including a convertible, Sport Coupe hardtop, two- and four-door sedans, and four-door station wagons.
As the American public began to prefer posh to economy, the Bel Air began to outsell the lesser series, including both 150 and 210 models. As a partial answer to this, Chevrolet re-introduced the Two-Ten Sport Coupe hardtop in the middle of the 1955 model year, and also added a four-door Two-Ten hardtop Sport Sedan for 1956. Neither achieved the sales of their Bel Air counterparts, however, since they were only about $100.00 cheaper than the Bel Airs, which provided more luxury and premium exterior trim.
Unlike the 150 series, Two-Tens were always available with the same luxury options as the Bel Air, including the Powerglide automatic transmission, power window lifts and seat adjuster.

Yeah. Nice kit and nice build. The colors go well together.
Glad you like it!
1st off im Allen, my wife and I share this account. But just wanted to say that I've been building model cars since I was 9 or 10. I'm now 47 years old. But I love watching your videos, I have learned alot, and I'm trying out some new things that I've seen on your videos. Ive always had a problem getting my paint jobs to look good, or what I think looks good. So I went on the hunt the other day for some Future floor polish. I didn't have much luck. But I ended up buying some Quick Shine, its a multi surface floor finish. I'm hoping this will have the results that u have with Future. I will let u know how it turns out. But thanks for creating great videos, that are entertaining as well as informative. Thanks for everything you do.
Thanks Allen!
They change the name all the time.

Thanks for coming along for the fun!
Love the gun metal and purple color combo. Ron

It is s good kit. I'm just building the ROG 55 BelAir and it is similar to the 56 fitting very well.
Keep up the good work 👍

I have the previously issued yellow/silver box art kit, I haven't built mine yet because I cannot make up my mind what colors to 2 tone it...great looking build!
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
Excellent colors. Super great looking for sure. Love that metallic color. Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Enjoy watching these go together and you comments. Love your originality.
Thanks so much!
Mighty Fine reveal at the end. I'm about half way through this build and you have given me some nice tips on how to make mine pop. You always make your builds look easy and fun. Nice video.
She's a looker! Awesome color combo.
Thanks for joining the fun!
I think you got the look on this build. Excellent!
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
I think torque thrust wheels with grey centers would look nice on this build also.
I think so too!
Wow!!!! Nice work, that is beautiful...
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the color combo. Looks great. My son and I enjoy your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
You know Chris, no matter how many times you say that, I build for me, you build for you, it’s sad but there will still be some sob that will say “well you should’ve done this or you should’ve done that “! That’s a damn shame too, some people only hear what they want to hear. Hell I ain’t never gonna say stuff like that to anyone, I’ll congratulate you but no stuff like that! Anyways, good job buddy! lol!
You get the idea Doug!
Build for fun and build for you to the level that you like.
These are just fast build ups to show off what's in the box and it's how I love to build.
@@hpiguy - Right on buddy! I hear ya! And I’ve learned a lot watching your builds too, so keep on keeping on my friend! And Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and yours!
56 the best looking of the tri fives great build as always!!!!
56 is my favorite as well.
Thanks 👍
Love the colors you picked for this one. Looks great

Awesome build Chris! Totally dig your color choices for the body and interior! Excellent presentation and building tips as always!!

That's one BADASS Build! It looks like the rides I see at the local Car Show...
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
Great color combo
Awesome superb excellent incredible fantastic beautiful impressive remarkable job you did on your great model my late aunt’s boyfriend a super guy I might add had a 56 chevy and it was a stock model and it was white with a dark green lower paint scheme.beautiful car .
Wow, thank you
I think that’s the best looking model you have ever done on your channel great job buddy i have been wanting to build this kit for a while but didn’t want or pay 70 bucks for one of eBay have a nice Christmas 🎄
Go for it! Link to order this issue at normal prices is in description like Sean said, thanks!
Cool build! Not much for restomods but you kept it OE as well to bring it all together. Fine work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You never find models like this in the store! no never
modelroundup.com can get you this model, easily.
It takes an impressive talent stack to produce videos and build the models. Excellent work.
Thank you very much!
My girlfriend would love this because purple is her favorite color ! I love this. Gotta get my hands on this one !
Enjoy Todd!
@@hpiguy I always enjoy watching your builds Chris. I'm doing a build right now. A big scale model of a Lindberg kit called " The Big Red Rod ". Can't wait to see what it's going to look like when finished. I'm also hinting around about a Revell 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle kit that I saw that I want for Christmas ! Hopefully it will be under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning. I don't know but we'll see. But you have a very Merry Christmas and happy building !
Really nice build. But what really knocked me out is the color and paint work. Very nice.
Love the project. Listening to the music reminds me when I visited my family back home lol
Thanks for listening!
I can see the bits and bobs from this kit going into A LOT of the older tri five kits......me likee
Enjoy!
Love the color combo, nice work
Glad you like it!
Dude, that thing looks insane.
Thank you!
I think of all your car builds, thats your best so far. I’m not saying the others were bad, but this one has knocked it out of the park. The colours are awesome.
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
I hope Revell releases a gasser version.....
Hope hope hope hope
Oh Yes! Gasser with beam front axle for swaps to '57 150 Sedan too!
I'm doing a modified Bel Aire (stock 2 tone) just like my mom had...her first new car. A 2 tone ivory white top with copper/goldish bottom. I bought the 1955 Bel Aire to have the correct badging/etc. Both from model Roundup.
Sounds great!
Very nice build. Your paint/chrome detail around the side window openings is correct for a two door post. The upright pillars would be painted the body color, with chrome strips along the top and bottom. Looks perfect, my good man! I just love the purple and gunmetal colors.
Another cool build Chris.
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
i can see that you have done a few of these in your time, good work
I’m new to model kits, you are amazing and love this kit, once I get more experienced I’ll have a go at it. Thank you for the inspiration
Thanks ! Enjoy and have fun!
What another great build Chris. Definitely have to get me a couple of these for my stash. Always enjoy the builds thanks for everything you do.
Glad you like them!
The 56 is my favorite of the popular 3! 55, 56, 57!
Great build of a well engineered kit. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
@@hpiguy You always do.
Nice! I believe it's the same kit as we all got years ago. Just new box art. Great kit! Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for watching!
Nice job. I just finished the same car from the last release. I painted mine all coral blue from Tamiya with beige and brown interior.
Right on!
If this shitty 2020 ever ends and things ever return to the least bit of normalcy, I'd love to start building again. This one is on my list with several Pontiacs.
Just start building. I’ve built the most kits I’ve ever built this year. Especially when I was off work for 6 weeks. It helped me keep my sanity.
@@chriscallen6897 Hopefully after the holidays. Starting with the 62 Pontiac and 67 GTO
Great build..i bought the revell press-fit 1/24 scale 1957 Chevy bel-air a month ago and it turned out good, I like that modernized paint job you put on that 1956 Chevy Delray..really sharp looking..oh and I finally found me a 1970 revell pontiac firebird trans-am model like the one you did the build review on a year or a couple of years ago I think..i found it at hobby lobby earlier this evening for 40% off the regular price👍👍👍😊😊😊
I did that Snap 57, beat it all up. Great kit!
i started same one painted the body chrome pink and metallic pink and all the lines frames silver sticky foil
i stopped due what interior colours i wanted its still in the box after 5 years
I like the choices in colors. Very modern Hot Rod / Street Rodish
Thanks!
That is absolutely stunning
PURPLE RAIN. LOOKS AWESOME 👌
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
Hi guys,
My last model was a 1963ish GTO. I’m now 75 years and because of your channel I’m attempting to get back in. My first choice was the 56 Del Ray which I had in high school. Quite a project after all these years. I also am a N scale model railroader.
I was wondering if you ever considered reviewing plastic N scale structures?
Thanks, Dave
Camarillo, CA
Nice Resto-Mod..
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
Very nice color. Well done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Turned out nice like the color combo
Thanks a lot! Happy Holidays!
As always fantastic build! Nice custom paint combo!
On to the next!
Thanks again!
I love this build of yours, Chris. I have been trying to get a Revell '57 Chevy 2-door post Bel Air without spending a fortune.
Good luck in your search, thanks!
You nailed the look on that one Chris nice and clean love the color combinations on the exterior and interior great job as always 👍👍
Glad you like it!
Where do you do all your spraying I don’t know how long you have been building but the things I see you is so cool I can’t wait to get home to try all that I have seen from you
Great vid got to get it
Thanks Bob!
Actually you are spot on with the pillar trim. The ‘56 Delray was painted only on the pillars. It was the model below the Belair. In a custom application it would be common to add some of the Belair stainless to the A and C pillars and more as you have done.
Thanks!
56 was a good year for Chevrolet. That's a beauty!
Thank you!
That's beautiful mate..... Not ruined
Just nice...
Thanks Gary! :)
(Insert standard reply here) hehehehehehehehehehe
kool , nice one
RJ
Rock on!
You always do such excellent work! Love watching your videos every week! Find it little funny tho, I had just finished my 56 this week and then I see your video!(pics on my page if you interested).
Thanks for sharing your work!!! You keep building, I'll keep watching!!
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
Love It
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
I would like bestow upon you the 2020 Grodiest Paint Booth of the Year Award. Mine is bad but you get the Award.
Meh, it's job is to catch paint. It's doing it's job.
@@hpiguy Be proud and stand tall, It took a lot of hard work and dedication to achieve this great Honor.
Hi Chris, did you know that in 1956 the v8 engines were actually painted Chevy red so they wouldn’t confuse them with the 1955 engines that were the classic orange color? And then in 1957 some of the engines were actually painted a yellowish green color. The build looks nice keep up the good work👍
Cool!
Yeah I like the Del ray rather than the regular Bel air, now I’m gonna have to get me one of those kits! lol! I like the 57’ 150 too, I think that’s the Black Widow kit, that’s another I got to get! Anyways, cool build buddy, as always! Hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 🎅🏻!
Thanks Doug!
@@hpiguy - you’re mighty welcomed my friend!
Great job, Chris! Super color choice!!👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Turned out very nice. excellent job.....
Thank you! Cheers!
Super good top love 👍👍👍🇺🇸🏁
Glad you enjoyed it!
No Whining here. My big brothers built model cars too.
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
I've been watching for a short time now and have really enjoyed how you take the time to actually show the build, from primer, to detailing things start to finish. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
Thanks!
Just incredible two tone paint job looks beautiful Chris great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
While not the biggest fan of the lighter purples, that looks great with the gray metallic in the resto rod style. Another nice build that looks just right.
Right on!
I couldn’t resist buying this, had to go to eBay paid virtually double the price, but hey hours of fun on the way!
Modelroundup carries this every day at normal prices, just like I say and display in the video and the description.
Don't let the ebay scalpers rip you off.
www.modelroundup.com/1956-Chevrolet-Del-Ray-p/rmx-4504.htm
Modelroundup look a great site, but shipping to uk is twice the price of the kits, sometime 3 times the price depending what you order.
@@novicejohnd5803 Ahh, you didn't clarify that you are in the UK. Big difference. Enjoy the kit!
Great job on one of my many 1956 birthday cars. Gorgeous paint job. --Cindi aka Granny Glue-Sniffer
Oh thank you!
that's what i'm talkin' bout chris! awesome!
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
Great build Chris, now I want a real one that color !!!!!!!
Enjoy your build up!
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
That turned out really cool! I just might have to pick that kit up!
Go for it!
Nice job looks good👍👍
It turned out awesome Chris! I really like the paint scheme you went with. I could see this being a head turner driving down the road!
Looks like a great kit turned out excellent nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome colour scheme, I can imagine it racing. :D
Thanks!
Another masterpiece!!
