Chevy's Cheapest Car in 1959 May Have Beaten a Ferrari

Chevy's Cheapest Car in 1959 May Have Beaten a Ferrari — the forgotten Biscayne 348 Tri-Power nobody ever talks about. The 1959 Chevrolet Biscayne was the cheapest full-size car Chevrolet sold — $2,247, minimal trim, built for buyers who needed basic transportation. But Chevy let you option this exact car with their new 348 cubic-inch W-series V8, producing 335 horsepower and 362 lb-ft of torque with Tri-Power induction. Less weight, more horsepower than a Ferrari 250 GT, for a fraction of the price. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly forgotten American muscle car history:    / @americancarsaga   ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 0:00 — Intro — Chevy's Cheapest Car vs. Ferrari's Crown Jewel 01:04 — The Cheapest Car Chevy Made...
