Originally delivered to Al Baumann Chevrolet in Fremont, Ohio, a dealership that still operates today. After many years in the hands of the original owner, the car was sold to an individual before eventually being acquired by its current owner, a discerning classic car collector in Canada, who has maintained the car since the early 2000s.
At the time of purchase, the car had an incredibly low 8,000 miles on the odometer, and today it shows just 13,800 miles—remarkably original and well-preserved. Over twenty years ago, the current owner chose to strip the car down to bare metal and repaint it to address a minor flaw on the trunk, ensuring that every detail of the car met his meticulous standards. Notably, all the body panels, floors, and structural components are original, and the car has never sustained any body damage or required repairs. Since its repaint (images of the body preparation can be provided), it has been sparingly driven, spending most of its time displayed alongside other classic vehicles in the owner’s collection.
For those seeking a low-mileage, original example with a fascinating history having been owned by the founder Chevrolet dealership as well as an avid classic car collector this Bel Air stands out as one of the finest. With minimal ownership history and impeccable care, it’s a rare find in this condition. As expected, the car runs and drives flawlessly.
The current owner is happy to arrange shipping to any location. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most celebrated classic cars in automotive history. Full Video available
