Vehicle Description
This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible Restomod is a frame-off
restored, wolf in sheep's clothing. In 1955, Chevrolet completely
re-designed its premium Bel Air line, kicking off the Tri-Five
Chevy era. The hoods got flatter and the rear quarters became
sleeker after Chevy's revamp in '55. 1955 also saw the introduction
of Chevrolet's new V8 engine which was a major advancement forward
in terms of power and reliability. Of the non-station wagon models,
the 2-door Bel Air convertibles were by far the most rare, making
up about 5% of total production in 1955. This particular '55 Bel
Air Convertible underwent a complete frame-off restoration at which
time it is believed that car became a restomod. An upgraded GM
Crate 350 V8 motor with a single 4 barrel carburetor provides
improved horsepower to this Restomod Bel Air. Power is sent to the
rear positraction axle that is sure to keep the rubber to pavement.
Driving this '55 Chevy is an absolute blast with an upgraded
floor-mounted 4 Speed Manual Transmission that allows you to go
through all of the gears. Being that this Tri-Five Chevy is a
Restomod, it's loaded with numerous options. Power front disc
brakes provide plenty of stopping power for the upgraded
drivetrain. Power steering makes getting in and out of tight spaces
much easier and improves the overall drivability of this classic
Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. The dark gray vinyl power
convertible top works great and goes up and down with the simple
toggle of a switch. The exterior on this 1955 Bel Air Convertible
has been refinished in a two-tone color scheme of Coral and Shadow
Grey. The wheels and tires were also upgraded and now feature Torq
Thrust American Racing Rims with Radial Tires, which make for a
much smoother ride cruising down the road. Also worth noting is the
chrome and brightwork found inside and on the exterior are in
fantastic shape. The interior on this Restomod Convertible is
stellar. The front and rear bench seats have been reupholstered in
Coral and Dark Grey vinyl that complement the exterior look of the
car. Since this Belair Convertible features an upgraded power
steering setup, the original steering wheel has been upgraded to
smaller circumference wheel that provides improved space for the
driver. The dash and gauges appear to be in a mostly stock
configuration with a 100 MPH speedometer, AM radio, electric clock,
temperature gauge, and fuel gauge. An aftermarket oil pressure
gauge has been neatly tucked under the dash and a steering column
mounted tachometer have been tastefully added for improved
reporting to the driver. Perhaps the most significant interior
upgrade on this '55 Chevy Bel Air Convertible is that Air
Conditioning has been added to make those hot summer cruises a bit
more comfortable. If you're looking for a Tri-Five Chevy that you
can just hop in and drive, this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible
Restomod is the car for you. Give us a call today!
