The Bel Air received new, revamped styling for the 1955 model year.
The Bel Air was 3,456 lb (1,568 kg) and 15 ft (4.6 m) long. It was
called the "Hot One" in GM's advertising campaign. Bel Airs came
with features found on cars in the lower models ranges plus
interior carpet, chrome headliner bands on hardtops, chrome spears
on front fenders, stainless steel window moldings,1 #fn1 full wheel
covers, and a Ferrari-inspired front grille. Models were further
distinguished by the Bel Air name script in gold lettering later in
the year.9 #fn9 For 1955 Chevrolets gained a V8 engine option and
the option of the 2 speed Powerglide automatic, or a standard
three-speed Synchro-Mesh manual transmission with optional
overdrive. The new 265 cu in (4.3 L) V8 featured a modern, overhead
valve high compression ratio, short stroke design that was so good
that it remained in production in various displacements for many
decades. The base V8 had a two-barrel carburetor and was rated at
162 hp (121 kW) and the "Power Pack" option featured a four-barrel
carburetor and other upgrades yielding 180 bhp (134 kW). Later in
the year, a "Super Power Pack" option added high-compression and a
further 15 bhp (11 kW). Warning lights replaced gauges for the
generator and oil pressure.10 #fn10 This was not the first
Chevrolet to be installed with a V8 engine; the first Chevrolet
with a V8 engine was introduced in 1917 and called the Series D,
which was built for two years, and was manufactured before
Chevrolet joined General Motors.
