Vehicle Description
A very well-presented and authentic package makes this 1955
Chevrolet Bel Air an instant crowd pleaser. In fact, it's already a
major award winner. So look over all the details and period-correct
accessories that make this a true time capsule.
This is the first year for the iconic Tri-Five Chevys, so it's
important to get all the details right. That's why this has been
finished in a great Tri-Five theme of Tropical Turquoise and India
Ivory two-tone. The level of shine that this Chevy radiates proves
there was a solid investment in a professional respray. But it
takes more than just nice paint to be a Chevy worthy of everyone's
attention. All the brightwork looks like it has been expertly
maintained to make sure that the jet-inspired hood ornament boldly
leads the way, and the panels line up so well that the side trim
looks seamless as it crosses the doors. Even the special '55
bumpers shine like mirrors as they fit the car's form. And we know
you love how the whitewall tires and full wheel package even follow
this two-tone and chrome theme. But what really sets this one apart
are the period-correct trimmings. As you might have noticed, this
one comes with a 1955 accessories catalog, and it also looks like
it's wearing plenty of them with the fender skirts, windshield
hood, and continental kit. That's what made this a first-place
winner at the AACA Nationals, and since there has only been about
300 miles on it since then, you know this Chevy is still
award-worthy.
Inside, this one looks like a deep blue ocean as the
factory-correct dark blue patterned cloth interior was restored to
a time capsule-like appearance. Everything you love about these
icons are still in place. This includes the fan-style gauge cluster
and dual-cowl style dash that resembles the Corvettes of the era.
This one is so authentic, you'll even be showing off the
original-style mat in the trunk and AM radio that's still on
display. You even have the bow tie tissue holder - yet another
great Chevy accessory from '55!
Under the hood you'll find an era-correct motor, and the level of
presentation makes it look like you were picking it up brand new
from the Chevy dealer. The 235 cubic-inch motor is smooth and
torquey, and it was a mainstay of Chevrolet vehicles for decades.
Combined with a Powerglide automatic transmission, this one has
been restored to keep it the smooth cruiser you would expect from a
Bel Air. The Blue Flame six motor is painted perfectly to be the
centerpiece in this engine bay, but don't forget to check out the
level of detail with everything from the correct hoses to the air
topper with factory decal. And while you're looking at the detail
work, don't forget about the undercarriage photos. Now you
understand what we mean when we say this car was restored to look
like today is day one.
Complete with owner's manual, this '55 Bel Air is an icon that was
restored to iconic status. So if you're looking for a truly
top-notch classic car experience, call today!
