Vehicle Description
"Half way through the nifty fifties, the second-generation
Chevrolet Bel Air, appropriately dubbed the "hot one," appeared
with all new "motoramic" styling and an optional, new
statement-making V8 power plant. Chevrolet enabled the everyday man
the opportunity to own a virtually custom car without reaching too
deep into their wallet, and Chevrolet savored the positive
response. The '55 Bel Air transformed into one of the most
recognizable American cars of all time, respectively being worthy
as the poster child of the nifty fifties." HHClassic.com
This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible is finished in black over
red and white vinyl upholstery, and it is powered by a fuel
injected 350 cubic inch V-8 motor paired with a 5-speed manual
transmission. This 1955 Bel Air has gone through an older body off
restoration and was show quality prepared. The black paint has a
mirror-like finish with only a few minor blemishes, the exacting
body lines on this Bel Air far exceed anything that would have come
out of GM assembly plants in the fifties. The chrome bumpers and
bright work are in excellent condition and accent the black
exterior finish. Put down the white power top and you have a car
that was built for cruising.
The two-tone factory style interior presents extremely well with
that classic fifty's look. Add the Hurst shifter with cue ball hand
grip and you will shortly realize the factory motor is no longer in
this Bel Air.
The underside of this 1955 Chevrolet received the same pain staking
detail as the top finish, from the detailed frame to the correct
primer color.
Drive, show or both this iconic 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible
will provide everything you will need.
