This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible is an exceptionally
well-presented example of one of Chevrolet?s most recognizable
designs of the 1950s. Finished in its factory-correct Sierra Gold
and Adobe Beige two-tone color combination over a coordinating
Copper and Tan interior, the car retains the unmistakable styling
and upscale presentation that made the Bel Air Convertible one of
Chevrolet?s premier offerings for 1956.The Fisher Body tag
identifies the car as Style 56-1067DTX and carries Paint Code 700
and Trim Code 621, corresponding with the Sierra Gold and Adobe
Beige exterior and Copper and Tan interior seen today. The
restoration carries the color combination throughout the car,
including the beautifully finished dashboard, door panels and
two-tone seating surfaces. Brightwork, trim and factory-style
details complement the exterior, while wide whitewall tires and
Chevrolet wheel covers complete the period-correct appearance.Power
comes from a 265ci Chevrolet V8 backed by a Powerglide automatic
transmission. The engine carries stamping 0633460 F56FB, with the
FB suffix identifying a 1956 265 V8 Power Pack application paired
with Powerglide. The engine compartment is highly detailed and
maintains a largely stock appearance with Chevrolet-script valve
covers, generator, factory-style air cleaner and other
period-correct components.For improved drivability, the engine is
currently equipped with an Edelbrock AVS2 four-barrel carburetor
with electric choke. Importantly, the original carburetor
accompanies the car, allowing the next owner to retain or return
the induction system to its previous configuration.Additional
equipment includes power steering, power brakes and a
power-operated convertible top. Inside, the Bel Air features its
signature bright dash trim, factory-style steering wheel and
instrumentation, and even the interior clock remains
operational.Beautifully restored, exceptionally clean and presented
in its factory-correct color combination, this 1956 Chevrolet Bel
Air Convertible combines desirable V8 power, Powerglide convenience
and classic open-air Tri-Five Chevrolet styling in a highly
attractive package.1956 Chevrolet Bel Air ConvertibleFactory V8
