The 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air is a quintessential symbol of 1950s
American automotive design and culture. The '55 Bel Air marked the
beginning of Chevrolet's legendary "Tri-Five" series. One of the
most notable aspects of the 1955 Bel Air was its revolutionary
design. Chevrolet departed from the conservative styling of earlier
years and embraced a sleeker, more modern look that hinted at the
jet-age influence of the era. Mechanically, the 1955 Bel Air was
just as innovative. It introduced Chevrolet's first successful V8
engine-the small-block 265-cubic-inch V8-offering significantly
more power and better performance than previous models.
Inside, the Bel Air offered a level of comfort and style that
appealed to a growing middle class. The interior was well-trimmed
with chrome accents, upgraded upholstery, and a dashboard that
blended function with flair. Its timeless appeal continues to
capture the imagination of car lovers around the world.
This '55 Bel Air convertible was recently acquired from a
meticulous owner who's attention to detail is evident when you look
at the quality of this car. All around the exterior, the Gypsy Red
over Shoreline Beige paint gleams and is offset of chrome that is
in equally impressive condition. The correct soft top is in
fanatsic shape and the power top opens and closes smoothly with
perfect alignment. On the interior, the matching red and beige
interior equals the exterior in quality and condition. Seating,
carpet, converitble framing, dash and all components demonstrate
the love and attention this car has been given since restoration.
The car is powered by a correct 265ci V8 tied to a Powerglide
automatic transmission. Jump in, fire this V8 up, slide it into
drive and experience true Tri-Five perfection.
