Vehicle Description
This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air features a great color combination and
several performance upgrades, which make this a fantastic 50s
cruiser! The Tri-Five era for Chevrolet began with the introduction
a completely redesigned Bel Air in 1955. In November 1955,
Chevrolet debuted its second iteration of its Tri-Five Bel Air to
its dealers. The new '56 Bel Airs featured new designs both inside
and out. On the outside, the 1956 Bel Air featured a newly
redesigned full-width chrome grille that sat below a redesigned
hood that was flatter and longer. The new look hood were also
appointed with the iconic accentuated "V" treatment, something that
would be carried forward. Down both sides of the '56 Bel Airs were
a new chrome side trim that featured a painted insert and ran
nearly the full length of the car at the beltline and swept down at
the rear. Perhaps the most famous exterior update on the new 1956
Bel Air was the placement of the hidden gas filler cap which, in
true 50s fashion, is tucked behind the driver's side tail light.
Being that the Bel Air sat atop the Chevrolet passenger car
hierarchy, the interiors on the 1956 Bel Air was considered the
plushest, most luxurious, and well-optioned across the GM marque's
passenger car line. The Bel Air's interior trim had a truly
elevated look, comparable to most luxury cars of the day. They also
came equipped with fantastic options as standard equipment
including a clock and lockable gloveboxes, both of which were
considered big of luxuries back in 1956. Under the hood on this '56
Chevy is an upgraded 350 Cubic Inch V8 engine sitting below an
Edelbrock aluminum intake and a single 4 barrel carburetor. Exhaust
exits the NOM 350 V8 via a Magnaflow dual exhaust setup that gives
this Bel Air a fantastic throaty sound. The Chevy 350 V8 is backed
by a TH350 Automatic Transmission that makes this 2 door hardtop a
car that just about anybody can take for some serious cruising.
Riding on a set of wide whitewall radial tires paired with full
Chevrolet wheelcovers, this 1956 Bel Air has a great look and even
better ride. A single chrome outside mirror is always a welcome
addition on any classic car since it makes maneuvering a full-size
50s cruiser, like this one, in and out of tight spaces much easier.
The exterior on this '56 Bel Air 2 door hardtop has been refinished
in a gorgeous two-tone paint scheme consisting of Matador Red and
India Ivory. The interior on this 1956 Chevrolet is stunning! The
front and rear bench seats have been reupholstered in red vinyl
with beige patterned cloth inserts which gives this Tri-Five Chevy
a nice period correct look. Further adding to that period
appearance is the addition of Fingerhut-style plastic seat covers,
just like your grandmother's Chevrolet! The painted dash, matching
upholstered door panels, full-size steering wheel and red carpeting
are all in fantastic shape and appear to be in a stock
configuration. The dash is equipped with a 110 MPH speedometer,
temperature gauge, and fuel gauge, along with a clock and upgraded
retro-style AM/FM/Cassette entertainment system. A trifecta of
AutoGage underdash gauges are mounted neatly under the dash and
consist of an oil pressure gauge, volt gauge, and water temperature
gauge. Whether you're buying your first classic car or you're
adding to your Tri-Five Chevy collection, this 1956 Chevrolet Bel
Air 2 door hardtop would make an excellent choice. Give us a call
