For Sale: 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air in Ft Worth, Texas

Introduced in November 1955, the 1956 Chevrolet became the nation's most popular new car. The top-of-the-line Bel Air was now available in seven different body styles, including the six-person, two-door hardtop, which was marketed as the 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air. Standard-equipped deluxe trim moldings, an electric clock, and a lockable glove box complete with lighting, the Bel Air was offered with an array of power options topped by the 265-cubic-inch V-8. As the high-horsepower V-8 model was actually lighter than the six-cylinder cars, and consequently yielded a superior power-to-weight ratio, it was little wonder that the 1956 V-8 Chevys became known as "the Hot Ones."

HIGHLIGHTS:
• No expense spared frame-off restoration
• 265 CI V-8 engine
• 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission
• Two tone Neptune Green and India Ivory with matching interior
• Pushbutton factory AM radio
• Factory dash clock
• Body colored wheels with full wheel covers
• Coker wide Whitewall tires
