Vehicle Description
Here's something you don't often come across too often anymore: a
'50s classic with a high degree of originality that also remains a
solid cruiser. This 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air sedan has a cool
curvaceous style that loves to be authentic, right down to the
accessories.
This car is something quite unique Saddle Brown and Sahara Beige
two-tone is believed to be the original application. It has the
kind of quality for those who love patina, and these days, that's a
lot of us. In fact, this one seems to really split the difference
between a barn find kind of style and a cool rat rod cruiser. After
all, the top-of-the-line Bel Air added plenty more bright trim, and
the place you first notice it on this coupe is on the roof. The
full window surrounds and complete bright c-pillar makes for a
terrific separating line for the two-tone. And you have the best
cruiser features with the Bel Air's unique rear fender inserts,
fender skirts, and full-length trim. In fact, the full brightwork
package appears to be present which is quite impressive nearly 70
years later. But this one goes beyond the classic style with a
lowered rear suspension and Oldsmobile-style hubcaps. So there's a
lot of fun in the way this one is now, and there's plenty of
potential for whatever personality you want to bring out.
The two-tone beige and brown continues inside. A sedan like this
means four full doors and plenty of room to take others along for
the ride. There is a high level of detail here with the classic
steering wheel, correct gauges, complete dash, and grab rope for
the rear passengers. Overall, it has the honest and worn look
that's perfect for a rat rod, but the level of authentic details
means this will have you hunting for far fewer components if doing
an authentic restation. No matter how you choose to enjoy this
classic, the classic Allstate swamp cooler from Sears that's
hanging out the window is going to be a terrific talking point.
Chevrolet relied on the inline-six for its full lineup because it
knew how to stand the test of time, and this one really likes to
showcase that. The 216 cubic-inch motor is exceptionally honest in
its presentation. And so it's going to be a lot of fun to show
people how this aged powerhouse still loves to fire up and run. For
those who want to get the most out of this engine, the three-speed
manual transmission is the best choice to have, and there's just a
real retro-cool feeling about operating the three-on-the-tree
column shifter.
Here's a true survivor style presented on an upper-class classic
Bel Air. If your classic car dreams include authenticity, then you
know how irresistible this one is. Call today!!!
