GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air
for your consideration. This Bel Air wears excellent Black exterior
paint over a clean Red interior. Powering this Chevrolet is a fresh
350ci V8 paired with a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
This Bel Air was meticulously restored to its original glory and
looks to have just rolled off the showroom floor in 1955. The deep
black paint contrasting to the spotless chrome trim is such a
classic look on the Bel Air. Drive this one out of our showroom or
have us assist with shipping it to you anywhere in the United
States! Don't hesitate to give us a call with any questions or for
more information.
The Bel Air received new, revamped styling for the 1955 model year.
The Bel Air was 3,456 lb (1,568 kg) and 15 ft (4.6 m) long. It was
called the "Hot One" in GM's advertising campaign. Bel Airs came
with features found on cars in the lower model ranges plus interior
carpet, chrome headliner bands on hardtops, chrome spears on front
fenders, stainless steel window moldings, full wheel covers, and a
Ferrari-inspired front grille. Models were further distinguished by
the Bel Air name script in gold lettering later in the year, for
1955 Chevrolets gained a V8 engine option and the option of the
2-speed Powerglide automatic, or a standard three-speed
Synchro-Mesh manual transmission with optional overdrive. The new
265 cu in (4.3 L) V8 featured a modern, overhead valve high
compression ratio, short stroke design that was so good that it
remained in production in various displacements for many decades.
The base V8 had a two-barrel carburetor and was rated at 162 hp
(121 kW) and the "Power Pack" option featured a four-barrel
carburetor and other upgrades yielding 180 bhp (134 kW). Later in
the year, a "Super Power Pack" option added high compression and a
further 15 bhp (11 kW). Warning lights replaced gauges for the
generator and oil pressure.10 This was not the first Chevrolet with
a V8 engine; the first Chevrolet with a V8 engine was introduced in
1917 and called the Series D, which was built for two years and was
manufactured before Chevrolet joined General Motors.
