With their timeless looks and storied history, the Bel Airs of the
mid-'50s have long been used as the foundation for countless
aftermarket projects, but it's likely that very few, if any, have
emerged from their restoration with the singular appearance of this
1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Restomod. Clad in Electron Blue Pearl paint
that nearly radiates in the sun and is accompanied by blacked out
chrome and cruising on an aggressive, lowered stance accentuated by
a set of staggered jet-black wheels, this classic is an absolute
standout. And along with its attention-grabbing curb appeal, this
Chevy is equipped with a modern drivetrain, as well as several key
mechanical upgrades, so it offers an outstanding experience behind
the wheel.
You'll no doubt be impressed by the custom interior that awaits you
beyond the doors. The black upholstery blends leather and suede and
features blue accenting on both the front buckets and rear bench
seat that are color-matched to the exterior. Just in front of the
aftermarket steering wheel perched on its chrome tilting column,
the dash area is another high point, with Dakota Digital,
analogue-style gauges in the instrument cluster, surrounded by
clean unmarred surfaces everywhere you look. A retro-looking
AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth connectivity blends perfectly with
the ornamental chrome strip spanning the length of the cabin and
the added climate control system blows strong and cold for optimum
comfort.
This vintage Chevy is a lot of fun to drive, which should come as
no surprise, as it's powered by a modern, electronically
fuel-injected 5.3-liter V8 that pairs with an automatic, six-speed
6L80E specifically designed to optimize the engine's capabilities.
This modern drivetrain is in top form, making for prompt starts,
smooth idling and strong acceleration. Everything beneath the hood
is well-sorted and clean. The engine is dressed in paint-matched
valve covers, while up front an aluminum radiator teams with an
electric fan to keep operating temperatures in check. This Chevy
rides on a suspension that includes tubular upper and lower control
arms with coilovers in front and a four-link suspension in back, so
its agility in real world driving situations is sure to bring a
smile to your face. And, with both power steering and four-wheel
power disc brakes also on board, the navigation comes easy and the
stops come quickly.
