The 1956 Chevrolet faced a daunting task, trailing as it did the car that had changed the badge’s focus. It was up to the challenge, though, and easily continued in the direction established by the 1955 Chevy and its new V-8.
Chevrolet appeared on the market with its 1912 Classic Six, according to Early Chevrolet History, and while the make would later be so closely associated with six-cylinder engines that “Chevy six” became a part of the language, it didn’t happen in a straight line. The four-cylinder 490 arrived in 1916 to compete with the Model T Ford and a short-lived V-8 was added the following year, but the 1929 Chevrolet International or AC introduced the six that represented the real start; Chevy would offer no other engine through 1954.
Chevy Six Versus Ford V-8
Ford launched a V-8 in 1932, according to American Cars of the 1930s, and while it would at times offer sixes and fours, neither was especially popular and into the 1950s, “Ford V-8” was a phrase every bit as well-known as “Chevy six.” The two makes didn’t have the low-price market to themselves, but they dominated it and competed directly with each other for years.
