Vehicle Description
This 1955 Chevrolet is done just the way you want a cool cruising
classic to be. It has a classic tow-tone exterior, a loaded custom
interior, plenty of V8 power, and an upgraded five-speed
stick-shift to control it all. So this is the icon built for
driving.
The turquoise and white are a period-correct combo that really
knows how to attract attention. This was a passion project for the
restorer, and so he took the time to get it right. And we know
exactly why someone would take extra care with this car. The '55
Chevy launched the legendary Tri-Five era with one of the most
ambitious automotive faces of the time. This car really had style
with the form-fitting chrome bumper, wide grille, hint of fender
overhang in the headlights, and a curvaceous hood with a fighter
jet ornament taking off from the center. The body panels are
complete, and they still hang with the quality that allows the full
side trim to flow across the doors in an almost seamless fashion.
In the rear, there's well integrated chrome bumper and just the
right amount of tailfin. So this one has plenty of flair even
before you spot the upgraded 17-inch American Racing Torq Thrust
polished alloys.
One peek inside, and you can really understand the custom nature of
this Chevy. After all, they didn't have bucket seats with this kind
of comfy bolstering in '55. Yours even power adjusts to the ideal
position. This is a well done gray package where you get a modern
feeling on the seats, custom door panels, and carpeting. Plus, this
gray makes exterior-matching turquoise really pop on the dash.
There are great upgrades, like power windows, a center console, and
cup holders. You also have provisions for more upgrades like air
conditioning and an AM/FM/CD stereo. This is also made to be an
upgraded driver's machine. That's why you have the grippy
wood-rimmed steering wheel, and the tach is quite handy with the
stick shift.
These Tri-Fives introduced us to the legendary small block, and
just like the interior and exterior, this car keeps a classic style
while also delivering an upgraded experience. So the 327 cubic-inch
V8 keep the small block attitude, but in a larger displacement than
what was around in '55. Not only does this have an upgraded size,
but also you have performance upgrades like a 650 CFM four-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust.
Plus, there are nice sporting pieces, like the upgraded ignition,
pulleys, and electric fan. And you have complete control over the
full package thanks to the smooth-shifting five-speed manual
transmission. This is a well-done driving package that includes
power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, wide modern tires,
and rear traction bars.
This is a tow-tone, first-year Tri-Five done with the features you
want. So don't let this upgraded icon slip away, call today!
