I'm really not sure what parts went out on them, but I read some discussion board posts by mechaincs who worked on them in the 50s and 60s that they were real pieces of junk that didn't last

@glennmillerfan Hi, I used to be C.S. so I'm still alive if anyone's wondering. Wow, only 50k miles? What parts would typically go out first, and how much trouble would they be to fix? Thanks for replying, even if my original message was over 4 years old.

Maybe only 50,000 to 60,000 miles if you were lucky. That's why cars built between the 1940s to the 1970s didn't hold their value as much as today's cars do. Also they had color tvs available as early as 1954.

With OVERDRIVE?!!
When did overdrive go away for decades?
I have cars from the 70s & early 80s, and am trying to get 20MPG.
Who's the brainey think-tanker who did away with OD?
(Maybe an effort by the oil companies? Hmm?)

I watch these ads and my heart aches that I was born in the wrong time and in the wrong country. Great cars from a great time in a great country.
Cheers easyflow.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
A 1955 ad in color, when most TVs were black & white? Oh, and how many miles would an average 1955 Chevy go before breaking down? I have a feeling that it was too easy for these cars to get sent to a junkyard.
