Vehicle Description
1951 Chevrolet Bel Air has been upgraded with proper V8 power, an
overdrive transmission, and a custom A/C interior. So it's the kind
of upgraded classic that really earns its attention-grabbing
two-tone paint.
The original generation Bel Air launched a revolution that defined
the 1950s. The special roof looks like a convertible with its
hardtop in place. It really complements the sleek roofline, and
points the way for the sporty Impalas and Chevelles of the future.
You can really see it quite well on this example, because the
creamy white roof stands out nicely from the fiery red/orange paint
on the body. And of course, like any good 1950s American cruiser,
there's plenty of chrome. This Bel Air has brightwork surrounding
every piece of glass, running down the side, outlining the lower
rear fender, surrounding every exterior light, and smiling with a
big grille. And the upgraded 15-inch wheels go with the brightwork
package while also announcing there's some added performance in
this one.
The pillarless hardtop lets people get a good view inside, and so
it's great to have such a special interior. The tan color looks
timeless against the bright red of the exterior, but you also know
this is a fresh update. After all, you could never get that kind of
comfy contouring on your front seats in the 1950s, and the
fold-down armrest even gives you bucket-like comfort. The rear
seats match the upholstery of the front and it's sofa-like
comfortable. So if this sounds like a nice car to share with family
and friends, then you'll also love the upgrade to R134a air
conditioning. This coupe is also great for the driver-oriented
upgrades, like the updated steering wheel on a tilt column, clear
Classic Instruments gauges, and a SunPro tach neatly integrated in
the center of the dash.
This Bel Air pre-dates GM's mighty small block era, but a car like
this really deserves that kind of power upgrade. It proudly shows
off the 350 cubic-inch V8 with a tidy look and polished components
like the air topper and valve covers. It's a strong-running package
that even has nice upgrades like the Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor and an aluminum radiator. And since this one is built to
be a true cruiser, you have great driving features, like power
steering, power brakes, and a four-speed automatic transmission
with highway-friendly overdrive.
This is the hardtop coupe that was built to driver everywhere and
grab plenty of attention doing it. So if you love a great custom
classic, don't miss this Bel Air. Call today!!!
