1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Custom
History
The Chevrolet Bel Air was a full-size car produced by Chevrolet for
the 1950-1981 model years. Initially only the two door hardtops in
the Chevrolet model range were designated with the Bel Air name
from 1950 to 1952, as distinct from the Styleline and Fleetline
models for the remainder of the range.
What Makes This One Special
The 1956 Bel Air like the Red/White one we have here at Skyway
Classics received a face-lift with a more conventional full-width
grille, pleasing those customers who didn't favor the
Ferrari-inspired '55 front end. Distinctive two-tone bodyside
treatments and graceful front and rear wheel openings completed the
"speedline" restyling.
Ours has been modified with a look at more performance and
streetability than one that is restored back to factory stock.
Mechanical
To begin with, the engine in this sharp 56 is a 1969 #3970010 350
cubic inch small Block Chevrolet that has a GM factory Quadrajet
intake with a performance Edelbrock carb, factory cast iron exhaust
manifolds, chrome Chevrolet valve covers and breathers, chrome open
element air cleaner, performance spark plug wires and looms,
performance radiator with electric cooling fan, and has power
steering and power brakes. The 700R 4 Speed transmission really
make this car so much m,ore drive able, too.
The Bel Air sits and rides on great performance tires with custom
5-spoke mag wheels and sounds great with the dual exhaust system
running out the back of the car and the power running thru the
automatic transmission.
Interior
When you open the doors you will find a gorgeous red and white
plush pleated vinyl cockpit with matching bench seat and door
panels, black dash with an assortment of Auto Meter gauges, stereo
radio, great stainless dash trim, black and polished steering
wheel, black seatbelts and carpets, and the column mounted
shifter.
Exterior Our 56 has a great combination of Matador Red and Adobe
Beige paint certainly looks the part. Thanks to their killer curves
of the Bel Air family really lend themselves to the paint and it
looks great with great chrome and glass as you can see in the
pictures. The body lines are great and include the stying cues that
make this Tri-Five look so good. Single housings incorporated the
taillight, stoplight, and backup light, and the left one held the
gas filler to really ad to this 56's aesthetics.
