Vehicle Description
This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air is a beautifully restored 2 door
hardtop with fantastic restomod upgrades! Introduced to Chevy
dealers in November 1955, the 1956 Chevrolet passenger cars
received a minor facelift from the previous year. Sitting atop the
Chevrolet hierarchy was the Bel Air, the plushest and most richly
appointed Chevrolet both inside and out. In 1956, the Chevy grilles
were elongated, running the full width of the car. Additionally,
the hoods were longer, flatter, and had an accentuated "V"
treatment, along with new emblems and trim. The beltline trim
running down the side of the 1956 Bel Airs was also updated,
running nearly the full length of the car and sweeping down at the
rear. At the back end of the 1956 Chevy, the taillights received
new styling and, in true 50s fashion, the fuel filler cap is hidden
behind the driver's side tail light. On the inside, the Bel Airs
were plusher than the entry level Chevrolets and they were very
well-optioned, with all of them coming with clocks and lockable
gloveboxes, a big of luxury back in 1956. Due to the high level of
interchangeability of stock Chevy parts and the wide availability
of aftermarket parts, the Tri-Five Chevys have always been sought
out for street rod and restomod builds and projects. When
well-done, as this particular '56 Bel Air is, a restomod Bel Air is
a very desirable and wonderful car to drive and enjoy, benefitting
from both upgraded looks as well as improved performance beyond
what was available back in 1956. Powering this '56 Chevy is a
dressed up 350 Cu. In. V8 crate engine paired with an Edelbrock
Single 4 Barrel Carburetor. Exhaust exits the 350 V8 via a dual
exhaust setup that gives this Chevrolet a wonderful throaty sound.
The 350 powerplant is backed by a TH200-4R Automatic Transmission
that makes this Tri-Five restomod an easy car for anybody to drive.
Being that this 1956 Chevrolet is a restomod, it's loaded with
fantastic options and upgrades! With power steering, manuvering
this 2 door hardtop in and out of tight spaces at car shows is a
breeze and the overall driving experience is much improved. Power
front disc brakes makes bringing this Bel Air to complete stop much
easier as well. You'll be able to stay cool even on the hottest
summer days since this 1956 Bel Air is equipped with air
conditioning. Front and rear sway bars are a welcome addition since
they enhance this Bel Air's handling, especially with all of the
performance upgrades under the hood. Riding on a set of 195/60R15
radials in front and 225/60R15 radials in the rear, all of which
are mounted on polished American Racing wheels, this staggered
stance 1956 Bel Air has a nice old school look and a fantastic
ride. The exterior on this Chevy Bel Air has a stand out look
having been refinished in a beautifully two-tone paint scheme
consisting on Matador Red and India Ivory. The interior on this '56
Chevy Bel Air is superb! the front and rear bench seats have been
reupholstered in White Vinyl with Red Cloth inserts. The dash, door
panels, carpeting and steering wheel are in great shape and retain
a nice stock look. Although the steering wheel appears stock, the
steering column has been upgraded so that the steering wheel tilts
for a more comfortable ride. The dash is equipped with a 110 MPH
speedometer, temperature gauge, and fuel gauge, along with a clock
and retro-style AM/FM radio. Mounted neatly under the dash is the
Air Conditioning unit as well as a trifecta of aftermarket gauges
including gauges for oil pressure, temperature, and battery level.
