Vehicle Description
Big block power, an A/C interior, and an awesomely coordinated full
color combo takes everything that we love about the 1955 Chevrolet
Bel Air and upgrades the attraction level from interesting to
irresistible.
The paint sets the perfect attitude for this car. Two-tones were
terrific to have on a '55 Chevy, and so it respects the classic
heritage with a maroon and white similar to what you could get from
the factory. But the finish here has a deeper gloss and shine that
signal a more modern application, which also signals an upgraded
machine. There's the right mix of vintage and new in the details,
too, like the way the lights look correct but are a fresh
investment. And the tinted windows and dual exhaust tips subtly
reinforce the performance attitude. These Tri-Five Chevys are known
for this chrome, and so the grille, bumpers, and full trim, love to
shine brightly. Plus, the 17-inch polished American Racing wheels
are an upgrade that fits right in with this brilliance.
The way the two-tone maroon and white continue inside gives even
more of that thoughtful classic feeling. You'll appreciate upgrades
like the AM/FM stereo w/iPod input and cold-blowing air
conditioning... and those are the kind of features that make others
want to go for a ride, too. But the driver is always king in a car
like this. That's why you have a later-style Chevy sports steering
wheel. It's mounted on a tilt column to give you a clear view of
the full Classic Instruments gauge package.
The slick maroon inner fenders of the engine bay funnel your
attention to the big motor in the middle. And while the '55 Chevy
launched the small block era, this one gives you a major upgrade to
big block power. In fact, the 396 cubic-inch V8 was borrowed from
the muscle car era. But you can see they have done the right work
to update in this tidy setup. It includes bold block paint, newer
wires, newer hoses, and shining valve covers. You'll even spot
worthwhile upgrades like a serpentine belt system, Mallory
distributor/coil, and an aluminum radiator w/electric fans. The big
block inhales deeply with a four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales
with power and authority as headers feed the dual exhaust. Add in a
three-speed automatic transmission, power brakes, front discs, and
modern sport tires, and you have an all-around cruiser with
terrific power.
This is the iconic Chevy that's built with upgrades for both style
and substance. Don't let something this awesome slip away, call
today!
