Stamped steel, staggered hole, Chevrolet script valve covers painted Chevrolet red. The Chevrolet script is painted silver, according to NCRS judging guide. Same cover that is on 56 V8 passenger cars, except for the silver highlighted script.

Do you have an original 56 single four car? I have been researching these cars for 15 years. I would be interested in discussing it with you.
