In 1955, the Bel Air received a total redesign. With clean lines
and sports car inspired design, the Bel Air had wide consumer
appeal. The first successful offering of a V8 by Chevrolet, the Bel
Air's performance Was widely recognized as superior in '55. The '55
model-year marked a renaissance for the Bel Air name and greatly
enhanced America's love for Chevrolet cars.
This striking '55 Bel Air is the result of a frame-off restoration
that resulted in a stunning Tri-Five convertible. All around the
exterior, the trim tag matched Shoreline Beige over Gypsy Red pops
against the car's gleaming brightwork. Around the exterior of the
car it is evident that great attention was paid to detail in the
restoration of the body. The Continental Kit on the car's rear and
fender skirts set it apart from other '55s on the road. The
exterior color scheme is carried forward to the interior of the car
with trim tag specific red and beige vinyl seating, door trim and a
correct red dash. This Bel Air has an in-dash Wonderbar Radio as
well as dash-mounted traffic light viewer. Unclip the clean beige
convertible top and apply the lever and the power top drops,
allowing you to attach the corresponding beige tonneau cover and
cruise in the sun. The quality of the interior of this Bel Air
equally matches the exterior.
Mechanically, with a 265ci V8 with Power Pack tied to a Powerglide
transmission, this Bel Air is an absolute joy to drive. Power
Steering and Brakes enhance to car's handling on the road and lend
to the enjoyability of this ideally built Bel Air. Underneath the
vehicle it is evident that great care was taken during the
restoration and the car has been well maintained and stored since.
The '55 has quickly grown to be one of the most in-demand
mid-century collector cars today and this Bel Air is a great
addition to any collection or first purchase for someone looking
for a high-quality option.
