I will dispute the opinion of the Pontiac Chieftan. I owned a a 55 Chief 2dr sedan from 1965 through 68. While the car was not perfect when I bought it I did have the engine overhauled by a great mechanic at the Chevy dealership where I worked at the time and modified it slightly by installing a four barrel carburetor one manifold from the slightly larger 1956 316 Pontiac engine. I found the car to be generally reliable and very comfortable to drive on long trips. It cruised easily at high highway speeds without complaint and could hurry the 120 mph speedometer needle which happen d on one occasion on a deserted Texas four lane when I was in the Army and stationed there.
An in line 6 is considered absolute poverty spec - in the UK it's considered a well balanced engine and was used in jaguar and rolls-royces of 1955. And the issues with rust you could see with cheap Austin Metros of just 3 years old in the 1990's
I was 9 in 1955 & as with most boys then, was an avid car enthusiast! The autos depicted were mostly for more affluent buyers, with one exception being the 1955 Chevy, which turned out to be an extremely reliable car & a true 'classic"! You really didn't do your homework on this one!

I think rust was a major problem with chevy in particular.
What is a 55 Shovelay?
But they still roll along. So....

You know less than nothing. At least learn the difference between a '55, '56 and '57 Plymouth. Just give up!
Not enough research and to much yapping,in other words a load of garbage
