For Sale: 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air in Papillion, Nebraska

Vehicle Description

For sale is this gorgeous 1955 Chevrolet Hard Top Bel Air also known in 1955 as the ?Sport Coupe?.  The Hard-Top designation comes from the elimination of the post between the front and rear side windows making this a highly desired feature. 1955 was the first year for Chevrolet?s ?Shoe Box? body style, which proved to be very successful. The Bel Air was Chevrolet top trim level, featuring more chrome than the 210 or 150 and offered many more desirable options. The 57? Bel Air is the most famous for all its glitz and glam, but the 55? Bel Air is appreciated for its subtle yet iconic design. This is a great example 55? Bel Air hardtop with an awesome driveline and stellar looks.

Powering this ?55 Bel Air is a Corvette 350ci V8 sending its horsepower to a smooth, but sure shifting, 350 turbo transmission. The red vinyl and tan straw cloth interior is correct and in perfect shape. The new power steering and 4-wheel Wilwood power disc brakes add to the comfort and ease of gliding this beautiful bowtie down the road.

Adding to the cool factor of this 55 Chevy are the 17? American Racing Torque Thrust II rims and vintage spinners. Options on this awesome 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air include: Bluetooth AM/FM Stereo with Amp and Speaker Box, Digital Gauges, GPS Speedometer, Completely New Wiring Harness, Completely New Power Steering System, 4-Wheel Power Disc Brakes, Front Coil-Over Double-Adjustable Shocks, Rear Double-Adjustable Shocks, Global West Tubular Control Arms, Radial Performance Tires, and Aluminum Alloy Rims, Refreshed Engine.
