Vehicle Description
1955 Chevrolet Convertible There is no question that the 1955
Chevrolet is one of the most popular cars ever produced. We love
Fords but when you are talking about the 50's they just had no
chance next to the classic Belair. These cars are incredibly
desirable and will continue to be sought after until the end of
time. Of the 55 the one to have in terms of rarity is the classic
Belair Convertible. These were luxury cars of the time and only the
highest class would be seen cruising in a Belair with the top down.
This beautifully built 1955 Chevrolet Belair Convertible is the
perfect combination of classic style with some modern upgraded
technology. The Red and White body is in great condition and the
paint has a perfect shine especially when you combine it with all
the chrome and stainless trim work. Also paired with the paint is
the White convertible top that is all power operated. When the top
is down it is covered with a white convertible top boot that is in
good condition as well. Custom Frank Palmer pinstriping is in place
throughout giving it a bit more of a custom look then your standard
two tone 55. All of the glass on the car is clear without damage
and is topped with a nice tint. All of the exterior electrical is
in good working condition and has been upgraded with LED lights. A
station wagon bumper was used in the rear which incorporates a
recessed license plate. This is a subtle change from the original
bumper but put it next to a stock 55 and you will wonder why
station wagon bumpers weren't used on all 55's. It looks great!
Under all 4 corners are 17 inch American Racing Torque Thrust
wheels with Corvette run flat tires. Pop the hood and you will be
greeted with a very cleanly done 350 V8 385hp motor. It runs
extremely well and has been fitted with a lot of upgrades including
a serpentine belt system, chrome power brake booster, endurashine
valve covers and a chrome air cleaner. In addition to power brakes
the car utilizes a Power Steering system and Classic Air A/C making
it just as smooth and easy of a driver as your regular everyday
vehicle. An Aluminum Radiator is in place and along with a billet
overflow tank and electric fans keeps the cooling system operating
well in all temperatures. The car has an awesome sound through dual
Flowmaster exhaust and custom electric header cutouts are in place
to allow you to open up the headers, while in the car, with just a
flip of a switch. Just when someone thinks your cruising in a tame
55 Convertible, open up the headers and let them hear how it really
sounds! Paired with the motor is a Tremec 5 speed transmission that
shifts extremely well with zero issues and trasnfers power back to
the 3:23 posi rear end. Tubular A arms in place and the car has a
really smooth ride. The interior of the car is complete in 2 tone
Red and White ultra leather that is extremely soft and comfortable.
A custom center console is in place which houses the shifter,
Kenwood AM/FM/CD player and AC vents. A billet trim piece is
mounted to the dash and is topped with Auto Meter Cobalt gauges and
a custom bezel to incorporate them into the original speedometer
area. An Ididit tilt steering column is in place and is topped with
a reduced size steering wheel. This gives you the stock style of
steering wheel without having to rub your knees while driving on
the large sized original. Other cool features include the original
kleenex holder mounted in front of the passengers side. The trunk
is finished out nicely in the same upholstery material and has a
hidden compartment to house the 12CD changer and a fire
extinguisher. You don't see many convertibles pop up on the market,
especially as nice as this one. Come check it out today! This is a
rare classic that is just going to get more rare over time. Add it
to your collection for $112,500.00!
