Vehicle Description
The 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air is huge in the collector car market, but
60 years later, not all are presented equally. This example has
been restored with amazing paint, a custom leather interior,
four-wheel disc brakes, and much more. So if you enjoy being both
distinct and custom, read on...
You already know why these cars are special. Chevrolet made these
as a one-year-only design, and so we all tend to take notice when
one arrives. But it's not just history that makes this one grab
attention. There has been a solid investment in a modern Bronze
Metallic paint that has a terrific glow in the sunshine. It was
expertly applied to this classic, and so even the details are right
- like how the bronze streak continues in the side trim. And
speaking of the trim, this was a terrific year for brightwork. Not
only does it provide a great separating line for the white in this
two-tone hardtop, but also it frames unique elements like the
tailfins that run from the door all the way until they wrap around
the rear. And of course, no '50s classic is complete without big
chrome bumpers, so you'll really appreciate the mirror-like quality
of these. The final touch of shine comes from the chrome alloy
wheels that are staggered 17/20 inches front/rear for an aggressive
stance. These modern rims on the classic body give a clear signal
that this is a custom machine.
The pillarless hardtop setup allows people to get a good view of
the interior, and that's going to make you extra happy. There was a
solid investment to have the seats, door panels, dash, headliner,
and even the trunk custom finished in a bronze and white that
coordinates with the exterior. This is the kind of full uniform
package that you only see on the best custom builds. But this was
not just made for showing of, and you realize that the moment you
sit down on the comfortable leather seats. The vintage steering
wheel and all your gauges look quite correct, but the clarity also
tells you they have benefited from a nice investment. Plus, the
custom center console housed an AM/FM/CD stereo with plenty of
modern features, including a touchscreen and well-integrated
subwoofer.
Just like the rest of the car, the engine bay has received some
nice custom investments. The smooth bronze inner walls match nicely
with the air topper and ribs of the bright valve covers. But also
just like the rest of the car, this never loses its vintage spirit.
That's why you have a period-correct 283 cubic-inch V8. Topped with
an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, you get good power and a sweet
sound out of the dual exhaust. And a car this nice is meant to be
seen everywhere. So with features like a three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and an upgrade to four-wheel disc
brakes, they made it great to drive everywhere.
This is a very cool custom that was built to be impressive to
everyone, including the driver. So if you love a great '58 Chevy
like we do, don't miss this one. Call today!!!
