Vehicle Description
This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air has all the awesome classic style that
has everything you want, including the hardtop profile, V8 power,
and a fully coordinated two-tone inside and out. It all makes for a
detailed icon with a shining vintage style and just the right
well-integrated upgrades for a better cruiser.
The trim tag says this Shoreline Beige and Gypsy Red is factory
correct. So it's great to find one that was not only born this way,
but also it received a respray along the way. It means you get a
beautiful gloss to show off all those classic lines. The finish is
only part of this car's appeal because we're told this was given an
extensive restoration in 2008. There has been only respect for this
coupe since then, and you see it in the overall quality
presentation, right down to the straight panels, even gaps, and
pliable weather stripping. The full trim package loves to provide a
proper dividing line for the two-tone. In fact, the brightwork
package is complete and shining - from the wraparound chrome
bumpers to the wheel covers. And you'll love all the classic
cruiser details like the whitewall tires, polished exhaust tips,
and rear fender skirts. It all makes this Bel Air look like it
turned back the clock while also shining as bright as your
nostalgia.
The red and beige color theme is carried inside, and this is the
factory-correct color combo. The interior is just as clean and
impressive as the exterior with the carpeting, headliner, and seats
giving this an inviting atmosphere. You'll even love the little
things, like the detailed feel of the seats, working dome light,
and clean/classic trunk with stand-up spare. But the overall idea
of this interior is to give you a carefree and comfortable cruiser
where everyone can hop in on a whim and enjoy the open road. That's
why this Bel Air now has a retro-style AM/FM/cassette stereo. So
can't you just imagine rolling down all the windows on this
hardtop, cranking up your favorite FM station, and going on a
summer evening ice cream run?
The VIN shows this was born a VC-code V8 car. That's particularly
important because the '55 Chevy launched the now-famous small block
motor. And since this hardtop has such a great connection to
history, it's great to have an era-correct 265 cubic-inch V8 under
the hood. They paid attention to giving this a vintage
presentation, right down to the Chevrolet script on the valve
covers and AC oil filter. The V8 fires up eagerly, so you know it's
a classic that wants to cruise. That's why you have some easy
driving features like the Powerglide automatic transmission and
modern treads hiding behind the classic whitewall tire style.
This is a two-tone, first-year Tri-Five done to make sure you can
see and feel why this is a true American icon. So don't let this
classic coupe slip away. Call now!
