Vehicle Description
A beautiful two-tone exterior and nicely coordinated custom
interior give the impression of a great cruising classic. But when
you lift the hood on this 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air, the
performance-built V8 lets you in on the secret that there's a beast
within this beauty.
This is everything you love about the '50s in one car. The 1958
Chevrolet was a solo and distinct style that made sure they were
the kings of being lower, wider, and longer than the rest. So they
gave it a true presence, with bright grille stretched end-to-end,
and the chrome bumper even followed suit as it wrapped around the
front fenders. Along the side, the tailfin now started behind the
door and didn't stop until it looped around the trunk to create
some of the most artful sheetmetal that wouldn't even be dared
today. It was capped off by another bumper with so much chrome that
your date could use it to check her lipstick. All of these features
are so clear today thanks to exceptional care that has gone into
this Bel Air. The panels are quite straight; the doors shut with
authority; and the turquoise and white two-tone has the right
luster to reflect the neon of the car hop perfectly. But then you
look at those bright Cragar wheels, and you realize there's much
more here than just nostalgia.
Inside you get more blue and white for a very thoughtful
appearance. The custom front buckets have a comfortable tweed
insert, and the seat materials are used for the custom side panels,
headliner, carpeting, and even the rear bench, where there is
plenty of room for family and friends in this full-sized Chevy. The
white steering wheel with stylized chrome center cap is an artful
touch for panache lovers, but people who enjoy the drive will start
picking up on other custom features, too. After all, the full
AutoMeter gauge setup and B&M locking shifter are the kind of
components that let you know there's something special under the
hood.
A stylish car like this has a stylish engine bay with paint to
match the exterior on the walls, and plenty of bright components.
But those racing flags etched onto the valve covers are well
deserved. This 350 cubic-inch small block has been upgraded with an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, performance intake, and long tube
headers that snake their way under the X-frame chassis. This V8 has
plenty of power, and it has no trouble announcing it thanks to the
wicked dual exhaust. GM makes their three-speed automatic stout
enough to handle all this extra power, and just as important, it
stays comfortable and smooth for when you just want to cruise
around. That's why you love this Bel Air - it likes to do
everything you like, too.
Great colors hide a ferocious growl - there's a lot of fun within
this iconic one-year style. So hurry up, because there is only one
up for grabs. Call now!!
