Vehicle Description
Chevrolet left us a great legacy that continues to be a big part of
our classic car hobby today. From 1955 to 1957, The Bel Airs were
known as Shoebox models and is defined as the tri-five Chevy era.
While the 1955 displayed a more subtle design and the 57 a more
flared design with fins, the 1956 Bel Air was a nice example of
both styles.This 56 Bel Air is a beautiful car that retains most of
the originality and is in show condition. Exterior is the very
desirable Matador Red and Ivory, and it exhibits a top-quality
paint job. All chrome and trim are in excellent shiny condition.
The fender skirts have splash guards and the front has gravel and
splash guards. Tires are rand new radial wide whites. The rear
taillights have the original look with blue dots added.Interior is
the beautiful roll and pleat red and white (Matador Red/India
Ivory) leather interior. The digital dash is painted in the same
red and the steering wheel and carpet are red as well. All interior
components present in show condition. Car has an AM/FM original
radio and clock.Engine is a fuel injected 265 CID paired with a
700R automatic transmission with overdrive. Upgrades include
aluminum radiator with overflow tank, power front disc brakes, rear
shock bar, new gas tank pressurized for the fuel injection), new
springs, and an electronic ignition. Only less than 1200 miles have

state. Owner will consider trades for a 1956 Ford Crown Victoria or
a 1965 Buick Skylark, car must be in the same show condition as
