The trim tag confirms both the exterior and interior color combinations, while period-style details including the Continental kit, wire-style wheel covers, whitewall tires, extensive brightwork, and dual side mirrors complete its unmistakable 1950s appearance. What makes this particular Bel Air especially interesting is its documented history. The car underwent a restoration in 1993-1994 by a prior owner who authored How to Restore Your Golden '55 Chevy, with portions of this car's restoration documented in the book. A framed display featuring the book accompanies the car. Combining the first-year Tri-Five design, 265ci V8 power, desirable 2-door hardtop body style, period accessories, and an unusually well-documented restoration story, this Bel Air offers considerably more character and provenance than the typical restored '55.
