1955 Chevrolet Belair Sedan Automatic
California Car, Highly Original!
Super cool and original 1955 Chevrolet Belair Sedan for sale. This Gray/Coral car has been in California from the beginning and is an amazing survivor with just two owners and one repaint. As they say, "They're only original once". This special time capsule comes from a collector friend of ours with a love for original, California cars with a short ownership list but especially big family cars of the sedan variety. Whenever he acquires one it heads straight to his mechanic for a thorough check-up and any deferred maintenance to ensure reliability.
The factory inline 6-cylinder starts; runs and drives beautifully. There is no smoke and the engine is quiet and smooth. The automatic transmission shifts spot-on and the suspension and braking feel good. It's easy and relaxing to drive.
The car has been repainted once in its original colors many years ago though it still looks good. It has little or no signs of previous damage though expect some scuffs and chips as part of the charm. The floors are solid including the inner rockers, many undercarriage photos provided, especially on our site. There is a very small amount of rust on the passenger side of the cowl near the antenna, otherwise, it is rust-free.
The interior decodes as Gray/Coral though it is black. It looks to be 100% original to me including seats and panels. The car appears to have had exposure to the sun through most likely a garage window on the passenger side. I believe this to be the case because the seating areas front and rear are worn exactly the same front & rear. Again, given its age and originality, some patina is to be expected. But if you're anything like our friend, it's all about this originality and honesty that the car bares so well.
Great opportunity to own a very special Chevrolet Belair with an extremely short owners list! Call Donn at 707-332-8331.
