Vehicle Description
You stopped to look, because it's a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air sedan at
quite a nice price. But more than just value, dig a little deeper
to discover bright modern paint, an upgraded A/C interior, a fresh
crate V8, and ever an overdrive transmission. So this is the
affordable iconic classic is already exactly how you want it.
This sedan is pure distinction with the jet-inspired ornament on
the hood, unique single-year grille, and sweeping side trim that is
arguably the most handsome of the Tri-Five era. Of course, it also
helps to have a car that looks this bright. The light copper
metallic has a deep luster from a modern clear coat. The white in
this two-tone presentation has the same gloss, so the sunlight
loves the body. But we all know the best shine comes from all that
iconic chrome and sweeping stainless trim. People often have
problems finding the right pieces for a '56, so we get excited when
it's complete just how it is here. Besides striking, this one is
also out for a performance appearance. So you'll notice the large
16-inch American Racing wheels that give an extra hint of
aggression.
The two tone continues on the inside. The white seats with textured
copper inserts has that kind of cool that could only come from a
'50s design, but the fresh feeling tells you this was a recent
investment. The full color theme is continued on the dash,
carpeting, and especially the artful door panels. The overall
effect is a well-coordinated total package. Everything you love
about these icons are still in place. This includes the fan-style
gauge cluster and dual-cowl dash that resembles the Corvettes of
the era. But now you also benefit from the best upgrades like the
comfortable wood and chrome steering wheel, an auxiliary gauge
trio, and an updated AM/FM/cassette stereo with digital tuner. And
best of all, vents have been expertly installed for the modern and
cold R134a air conditioning.
When you lift the hood, the 350 cubic-inch small block V8 looks
brand new, and that's because it practically is! There is only
about 350 miles on this fresh crate motor. That means you get the
great Tri-Five Chevy small block legacy, but in a fresh and
powerful package. This V8 even benefits from an aluminum intake,
four-barrel carburetor, MSD ignition, and long tube headers that
feed the rumbling dual exhaust. The full package is rated around
300 horsepower. But more than just a powerful icon, this one was
built to comfortably drive anywhere. That's why you have great
features like an electric cooling fan, trans cooler, and a 700R4
four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive.
Plus, there's great suspension upgrades like a thick sway bar up
front, traction bars in the rear, power steering, and front disc
brakes.

Air that you can comfortably cruise anywhere in A/C comfort. So at
