Vehicle Description
A real-deal 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air sedan with plenty of V8 power is
already pretty darn exciting. So when it looks ready for the
streets and the price is so obtainable, you know it's a deal that's
quite nice.
The '55 Chevy has remained the enduring motoring icon because of
how well it represented what we wanted in the '50s - great colors,
plenty of chrome, and rocket-inspired designs. And this one does it
best. First of all is the two-tone. The India Ivory and Harvest
Gold are a period-correct combo that really knows how to attract
attention. And the way the Bel Air line uses the premium trim as a
separating line is a masterstroke. This follows closely to the
car's original colors, but now with an extra shine from a more
modern respray. The '55 Chevy launched the legendary Tri-Five era
with the wide grille, form-fitting bumper, and curvaceous hood with
a fighter jet ornament taking off from the center. In the rear,
there's an artful design with just the right amount of tailfin. And
you can enjoy all the details on this one, right down to the steel
wheels that look great in a color-matched white.
Inside is a factory-correct green interior. It's another great '50s
tone, and the hue seems to harmonize nicely with the exterior
yellow. Plus, just like the exterior, its level of completeness is
amazing. So you get plenty of bright trim, door panels that mimic
the exterior style line, and an artful steering wheel. The
Corvette-inspired dual cowl dash still even has the original AM
radio on display.
The '55 Chevy is coveted for launching the small block era, but it
never received something like this from the factory. Not only is
the 350 cubic-inch motor larger than stock, but also it has been
enhanced further with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. This
extra dose of power makes for a sweeter sound out of the dual
exhaust. Plus, the TH350 three-speed automatic transmission is a
fine choice, because it's easy enough for cruising and stout enough
to get the power to the ground.
This is a true icon represented correctly and offered at an
unbeatable price. So it's the kind of deal where if you think twice
it might already be gone. Don't miss out, call today!
