Vehicle Description
This was the car we always wanted as a teenager. Don't you remember
trying to convince your father to get a car like this 1961
Chevrolet Bel Air? After all, you used the cool hardtop design and
great color combo to appeal to his premium side... and you just
hoped he'd miss the fact this was a Tri-Power big block coupe with
a stick shift that would be perfect to borrow every Saturday
night.
You already know why the 1961 Bel Air is such a cool ride. It's
from the sought-after couple of years where the hardtop coupe
included the highly stylized bubble top design. That skinny
c-pillar and wraparound rear window is truly spectacular. The
factory-correct Arctic White paint makes for a bright first
impression. It's also a great canvas for the trim package. The full
brightwork on the front end and dual fender ornaments are pure '60s
cool. On the side, not only does the full-length sweeping trim
remain unbroken, but it also gives a nice hint at the interior
color. In the rear is one of the most intricate forms ever put to
sheetmetal. The dipping "V" with the dual tail lamps on each side
is something so daring you could only get it in '61.
Inside, the turquoise interior continues this coupe's pure '60s
charm. Plus, it looks like there have been investments in places
like the carpeting and seats, to keep it period-correct but quite
fresh. So this full-sized coupe is perfect for taking family and
friends in comfort. The color scheme is well-coordinated with the
door panels, carpeting, and dash for a full uniform presentation,
so don't be surprised if people like to take a lingering look at
the interior. And driving it truly feels like a time machine once
you get behind the dual-spoke steering wheel. But with the addition
of the tach next to the ultra-wide speedometer, you're once again
reminded that this is your teenage fantasy machine.
When you pop the hood, there's no missing the triple dual
carburetor setup for Chevy's famous tri-power package. The powerful
348 motor looks fantastic with the bright valve covers and bold
block radiating power from within the engine bay. And his
performance appearance is no accident. This big block made you the
king of the streets, and the dual exhaust had the sound to back it
up. Plus, those who were paying attention when ordering also got
the three-speed manual transmission to best harness all the power.
And to make sure the rubber can truly meet the road, the Rally
wheel package is hiding larger, wider rear tires. Are you starting
to get the picture on this one? It's the Chevy everyone wished they
had in '61 - so whether you were around back then, or just enjoy
the best from the era, this was the full-size Chevy to envy. But
beyond just performance, the this is a fine cruiser, too, thanks to
features like power steering and power brakes.
Powerful, beautiful, and enviable - this is time to make a fantasy
a reality with a cool tri-power bubble-top Bel Air. Don't miss this
opportunity, call today!
