The following information obtained from Wikipedia:
The '55 Chevy was a huge success with the general public. After its introduction, it was quickly dubbed "the hot one", and the public flocked to dealerships to get a look at the new car. Over 1.7 million were produced, and they accounted for nearly 23% of all car sales in the US in 1955. The '55's light weight (3,200 lbs) combined with its powerful V-8 engine and popular shoe-box body design also made it a hit with hot rodding circles and soon after, collectors. The '55 would also put Chevrolet into the motorsports arena for the first time, where it would win many races.
