For Sale: 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air in Easton, Maryland

ESCC is honored to present the Iconic 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible: Numbers Matching Restoration, AACA Grand National First Place Winner. Some cars are restored. This one is preserved to the standard the hobby's most respected judges demand. This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible is a numbers matching, 100% restored example in a rare special-order Glacier Blue and Skyline Blue paint scheme. It is a national award winner that is as impressive to drive as it is to look at. A Rare Special Order Color Combination In 1955, the vast majority of Bel Air convertibles left the factory in standard colors. Only about 500 convertibles that year were built with a special order paint scheme, and this is one of them. The two-tone combination of Glacier Blue and Skyline Blue is spectacular. Proven at the Highest Level This Bel Air is an A.A.C.A. (Antique Automobile Club of America) Grand National First Place winner and a Repeat Preservation Award winner, along with many other awards. Earning a Grand National First Place means the car was judged against the strictest standards for authenticity, correctness, and quality. Winning the Repeat Preservation Award shows it has held that standard over time. Few cars ever earn these honors, and fewer still are offered for sale. Buyers of top-tier collector cars know that documented judging success is the best proof of a restoration's quality and correctness. Numbers Matching Drivetrain Everything under the hood is as it should be. The car is powered by its original 265 cubic inch engine, topped with a 2-barrel carburetor and paired with the original 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. The engine has been rebuilt and has just 4,500 miles on it since the rebuild, so it is fresh, strong, and ready for the road or the show field. Attention to detail goes right down to the original style oil filter with its correct black lettering, the sort of authentic touch that separates a true restoration from a car that only looks right at a glance. Immaculate Inside and Out The exterior is stunning. The bodywork is straight, the panel gaps are right, and the paint is deep and brilliant. All of the chrome shines brightly, from the bumpers and grille to the trim that accents the Bel Air's distinctive lines. The brightwork alone reflects the care and expense put into this restoration. The interior is every bit as impressive. It is immaculate, correct, and comfortable, and it looks as though it just left the showroom. A Wonder Bar radio sits in the dash, adding to the period-correct look and feel. A new convertible top in the correct color completes the car, so the top goes up and down cleanly and looks right in either position.
