Vehicle Description
This 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air is about being an authentic and cool
cruising classic. That's why you even have some rare paperwork to
prove this still has its original engine under the hood. And these
just have an awesome attrition with a two-tone, a ton of
brightwork, and a smooth original-style setup that is pure
nostalgia from behind the wheel.
The top-of-the-line Bel Air added plenty more bright trim, and the
place you first notice it on this coupe is on the roof. The full
window surrounds and complete bright c-pillar makes for a terrific
separating line for the Bermuda Green and white two-tone. This
green is the factory correct color but it was given an update later
in life that added a metallic element. After all, true nostalgia
often comes with extra radiance. Plus, shine is at the center of
this car's appeal with a ton of very original-style brightwork.
Besides the special roof treatment, the Bel Air correctly has trim
running the full length of the side, outlining the lower rear
fenders, surrounding every exterior light, and smiling with a shiny
toothy grille. You even get the correct wheel covers that leave a
line of matching green paint before those beautiful whitewalls. And
this one really impresses with its level of completeness, right
down to the straightness of the sheetmetal, the quality of the
rubber surrounds, and the way you can close the doors with
authority.
The interior feels like a time capsule. The two-tone green is a
great color to harmonize with the exterior. There's fresher
carpeting, good door panels, and awesome upholstery with cloth
inserts do a great job of turning back the clock while keeping you
comfortable. The option lists were a lot shorter in 1954, which
gives this car an uncluttered appearance of a simpler time. The
steering column is uncomplicated, with a big wheel to help make
turning a breeze. Behind it are just two stalks - one for the turn
signal and one for the shifter. Despite this coupe's simplicity,
the gauge cluster is quite informative. It has info for the fuel,
water temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. It's such an
authentic classic experience that the only upgrade you're likely to
notice are the seatbelts.
Open up the hood and the honesty of this classic coupe continues.
Chevrolet relied on the 235 cubic-inch inline-six for everything
from the Corvette to its pickup trucks. This Bel Air with a
Powerglide automatic transmission was a higher compression form. In
fact, we have the dealer invoice to prove this is the
numbers-matching powerhouse! And since this is the original motor,
the presentation has the kind of originality that will have you
proudly showing it off. But a car like this was also made to be
driven. That's why you have an upgraded 12-volt electrical system
that includes an alternator and newer fuses. Plus, there's a newer
stainless exhaust with a modern muffler. It fires up like a
well-respected workhorse should and this Chevy feels eager to get
out on the road. And to make sure this is a true cruiser, you not
only have the automatic transmission, but also there Is added power
steering.
The sale comes with the owner's manual, maintenance records, many
previous registrations, and the very important dealer invoice. This
classic Bel Air captures a true classic feeling that's almost
impossible to find, and that's why we know it won't be with us very
long. Call today!!!
