1955 Chevrolet Bel Air

Description

It has been said before that the true measure of a great design is whether it ages well. 60 years later, and the tri-five Chevrolets have proven themselves to be one of the greatest automotive designs of all time. Need proof? Take a close look at this stunning 1955 Bel Air.

You'll notice right away that this Bel Air is covered in a classic red that brings to mind diners, poodle skirts, and a simpler time of life. The glossy red shows off all the bright work and doesn't hide the fact that this body is straight and features very good panel alignment. From the front grille to the rear bumper, this car shows exactly why the Bel Air became the epitome of classic cars. The beautiful lines are accented with the chrome work, and not in an overpowering way, but just enough so that you see the subtle dips and curves of a car that is a beauty to behold. This is one car that you will be proud to take on the road and show off!

Quite often when we see a car with a red exterior, we see a red interior. This Bel Air instead has a refreshing look of grey and black. The comfy bench seats have been upgraded with the grey cloth, accented by black vinyl to keep things crisp and clean. The black dash with the metallic details mirrors the color scheme of the rest of the interior, and houses the AM/FM radio with cassette. A/C, heat, and defrost are also present. A sporty B&M floor shifter has been added, and right above it is the water, oil, and amp auxiliary gauges to help tell you what you'll need to know about your cars vitals on that weekend road trip. The large trunk has a rubber mat and a spare tire in case you ever need it.

Lift the hood, and you'll find a 350 small block V8 resting in a highly detailed engine bay. About as iconic as the tri-five itself, the small block provides plenty of reliable Chevrolet power from within the engine bay. Bolted to the small block is a 3-speed automatic transmission that is ready for highway cruising. The engine exhales all the spent gases through a true dual exhaust system and provides that V8 rumble that we all love. Grounding the car are knockoff center spoked wheels that are wrapped in 215/65/R15 Goodyear rubber.

One thing is for sure, this car is a refreshing take on a true classic that you will never get tired of driving. The addition of the 350 V8 and A/C means you can cruise comfortably with the windows up or down on your way to the next local car cruise. Don't miss out on this beauty! Call today!
