Vehicle Description
Beautiful Shoreline Beige and Gypsy Red 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air
convertible with Light Ivory, Red interior and a Beige soft top.
This stunning Bel Air convertible was a solid southern car; it was
repainted in its very desirable original two tone colors.
This has been trimmed with a good mix of new chrome and stainless.
It has a well preserved original trim with lots of extras like the
rear chrome continental kit, complete chrome front bumper with
guards, rear painted skirts, stainless fingernail guards and a
stainless fuel door guard. The paint has a bright shine and covers
a rock solid southern body with good gaps and lines. This Bel Air
convertible came from a large private collection in Miami, where it
lived a pampered life in a climate controlled environment, was
driven sparingly, and enjoyed with great care. The engine bay is
highly detailed and showcases the code correct 265/205 4 bbl.
engine with Powerglide automatic transmission. Upgrades were made
to make the driving experience more enjoyable like power rack and
pinion steering and aluminum radiator for increased cooling. The
Red and Light Ivory was all new at the time of the restoration and
looks amazing. The dash, gauges and original steering wheel all
have the iconic look and feel that made this tri-five one of the
most popular cars of all time. The trunk is correctly painted and
complete with mat and jack. This American Dream Machine is rolling
on new wide whites and Bel Air chrome hubcaps for timeless good
looks.
