To this day, the "Tri-Five" Chevrolets are some of the most iconic and desirable classics on the market. 1955 marked the first year for the "Tri-Five" Chevrolets and with it came a major redesign from the previous generation passenger car. With the ever growing popularity of resto-mods and hot rods, it is getting more and more difficult to find well restored, factory spec examples of these iconic classics. That is exactly what we have here in this exceptional 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible. This Bel Air convertible has been with the same owner for the last 27 years. During that time, this Bel Air underwent an extensive, 16-year long restoration that was completed in 2016. Since the completion of the restoration, this Bel Air has been driven 10,000 miles over the last 10 years. This stunning Bel Air presents very well in its period correct Cashmere Blue and India Ivory exterior paint that is in very good condition throughout. Complimenting this Bel Air's two-tone exterior is its period correct chrome and stainless trim, 1-piece California front bumper, period correct hood ornament, period correct "Bel-Air" and Chevrolet emblems, and a set of period correct steel wheels wrapped in Diamond Back Wide Whitewall tires (dated 2016). This Bel Air convertible features a White vinyl power convertible top that is in excellent condition and in perfect operating condition. The Bel Air's two-tone Blue and White vinyl interior is in very good condition throughout with only minor wear and age present. Powering this great Bel Air convertible is its period correct 265 cubic inch V8 backed by a 3-speed manual transmission equipped with automatic overdrive. Both the engine and transmission perform very well and have no problem pulling this striking Chevrolet down the road with ease. This Bel Air produces a fantastic V8 sound thanks to the 265 V8 breathing through true dual exhaust fitted with glasspack style mufflers. This Chevrolet Bel Air is nicely equipped with options such as: power steering, power brakes, power convertible top, aftermarket AM/FM stereo, heater/defrost and variable speed wipers. If you are in the market for a nicely restored Tri-Five Bel Air convertible that runs/drives just like it should and would present very well at your local car show or cruise-in, then you will not want to miss out on this gorgeous 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible.
