Vehicle Description
1956 Chevrolet BelAir
Everyone has their favorite year for BelAir and if the 56 is yours
then this car is a great candidate. Not only is the car in great
condition, it was special ordered with all of the add ons you could
possibly think of. From the tissue dispenser inside to the
continental kit on the back this classic 1956 Chevrolet BelAir has
it all. All of these little details are pretty rare finds and make
the car really stand out when sitting next to other 1956's. The
Black and Silver paint has a beautiful finish and graces the
straight body nicely. Fender skirts are mounted to the rear just
adding to the more streamline appearance these cars were meant to
have. All of the stainless and chrome work is in immaculate shape
and this car has much more then your standard BelAir. The
continental kit utilizes a different style bumper in the rear and
the front bumper is also the larger deluxe series as well. As for
the trim you will note in addition to the typical hood ornament
this car was accented with spears over each front fender. The car
even has the original front visor which really sets it apart. Blue
dot taillight lenses were an add on along with the eyebrows over
the front headlights because you can never have too much chrome.
The gas filler is still hidden in the taillight like they were
originally and is always a unique feature people like to check out.
Factory steel wheels with wire spoke hubcaps that have been triple
chrome plated are found throughout but the standard style of hubcap
was used on the spare. If the car doesn't feel nostalgic enough
already, curb feelers are in place to help you keep those new Coker
wide whites radials looking great.
The car is a very fun cruiser and is kept running smooth via the
new fresh rebuilt 327V8 motor and new fresh rebuilt Turbo 350
automatic transmission. The motor is equipped with a Edlebrock
aluminum intake, a Edlebrock 650cfm 4 barrel carburator, HEI
Electronic Ignition and Ceramic Coated Headers.
The interior is the original style upholstery work complete in a
pale green and black. It has a split bench seat up front and
standard bench in the rear both of which are comfortable and offer
plenty of leg room. The dash has the original look and all of the
correct chrome knobs, switches and trim pieces. The original tissue
dispenser sits in front of the passenger with the original steering
wheel in front of the driver. All of the gauges and electrical are
working properly and all of the components used throughout are
stock. With the front visors a lot of these cars came with a
refracting glass piece to aide in seeing the traffic signals. While
traffic signals nowadays are positioned a little further a way it
is still a very neat feature and always a conversation piece. You
will never be stuck with a flat because even if the spare mounted
to the rear goes bad you still have a spare "spare" in the
trunk.
This clean classic BelAir is truly a piece of history. You don't
see all of the options that this car has very often so despite
being among the most popular line of cars out there it is still
very unique.
