Out of all the car models in the autoverse, the Chevy Bel Air holds
a special place in enthusiasts' and collectors' hearts. Although
many don't realize that the Bel Air trim spanned seven generations
and more than three decades of Chevrolets, from 1950 to 1981, more
often than not, the model's second generation garners the lion's
share of the attention. The Tri-Five cars, as they're known, began
with the 1955 model and continued on for the 1956 and 1957 model
years. The 1955 Chevrolet 210 Bel Air Tribute Restomod we have for
you today stands out as a unique example. With its full Light Blue
and White two-tone paint, LED lights, and unmistakable chrome trim,
it stands out as a hallmark of the Golden Age of automobiles.
Inside, we find a cozy, blueish-green cloth interior. A custom
power-assisted wheel is mounted on a tilt column, sits ahead of a
half-moon 110-mph speedometer set against an aluminum bezel. A
custom three-pod auxiliary gauge cluster sits just below a Kenwood
AM/FM/AUX/CD head unit that also offers satellite and Bluetooth
connectivity. Air conditioning adds a nice touch, while the Bel Air
logo and analog clock pay homage to the brand's history.
Under the hood, we find a chrome-dressed engine bay with a powerful
5.3-liter Vortec V-8. With its 862 heads, composite intake
manifold, and FlowMaster dual exhaust, this Gen IV small-block adds
a modern twist to this classic ride. That power is routed through a
4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to
the factory rear end.

This 1955 Chevrolet 210 Bel Air Tribute Restomod rides on a custom
suspension featuring an independent front end with QA1 coilover
shocks and tubular control arms, traction bars, and leaf springs in
