1956 Chevrolet Bel Air
Car History
The Chevrolet Bel Air was a full-size car produced by Chevrolet for
the 1950-1981 model years. Initially only the two door hardtops in
the Chevrolet model range were designated with the Bel Air name
from 1950 to 1952, as distinct from the Styleline and Fleetline
models for the remainder of the range.
The 1956 Bel Air back then received a face-lift with a more
conventional full-width grille, pleasing those customers who didn't
favor the Ferrari-inspired '55 front end. Distinctive two-tone
bodyside treatments and graceful front and rear wheel openings
completed the "speedline" restyling.
The Red/White 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air we have here at Adventure
Classics has been restored back to the factory stock look with
period correct engine, interior, and paint job.
Engine & Drivetrain
To begin with, the engine in this sharp 56 is a 265 cubic inch
small Block Chevrolet that has a factory Chevrolet intake with a
4-barrell carb, factory cast iron exhaust manifolds, body colored
Chevrolet valve covers, chrome air cleaner, and sits in a clean and
painted engine compartment.
It is backed by the factory original PowerGlide transmission and
rides on great white letter Cooper Cobra GTS performance tires with
Cragar SS 5-spoke mag wheels. It also sounds great with the dual
exhaust system running out the back of the car thru the chrome
custom exhaust tips.
Interior
When you open the door you will find a gorgeous red and black
factory stock appearing brand new two-tone black/red interior
consisting of the matching bench seat in front and full seat in the
rear and door panels, red dash with an assortment of factory and
accessory gauges, AM/FM stereo radio (in the glove box), great
stainless dash trim, red and polished steering wheel, black
carpets, and the column mounted shifter.
Exterior
Our 56 has a great combination of Matador Red and Adobe Beige paint
and certainly looks the part. Thanks to their killer curves of the
Bel Air family really lend themselves to the paint and it looks
great with great chrome and glass as you can see in the
pictures.
The body lines are great and include the styling cues that make
this Tri-Five look so good. Single housings incorporated the
taillight, stoplight, and backup light, and the left one held the
gas filler to really ad to this 56's aesthetics.

provide you with a superb Tri-Five ride that's both comfortable,
durable, fast, and safe as well as owning a professionally restored
