Chevrolets of the 20th century, a 1955 Bel-Air Two-door Sedan. Made
in GM's Janesville, Wisconsin assembly plant, this car has
undergone a major revamp from its stock beginnings. Complete with a
powerful 350 power plant, power steering, power upgraded disc
brakes and upgraded independent front suspension! Finished in a
sharp red and black paint scheme, the paint and trim are in overall
excellent shape, as are the clear and crack-free windows. This
bowtie's lights are clear and intact. It rolls on American Racing
five-spoke wheels surrounded by 245/40R20 tires. The body panels
are all solid and straight, the engine bay is very tidy and the
bumpers look great. Under the hood is Chevy's venerable small block
350 CID V-8 engine with an Assault brand intake manifold and
electric radiator fan and backed by a three-speed automatic
transmission. Driver assist features include a Tuff Stuff power
steering and power brakes. Inside, the car sports a mostly redone
interior. The black front and rear seats are in excellent shape, as
is the black carpet and matching headliner. The instrument panel
has been refitted with Dolphin gauges and looks great. A
three-spoke aftermarket steering wheel and aftermarket floor pedals
are fitted. The inner door panels, mirror glass and shifter are all
in good order. There is no radio in this car and it does not have
any windshield wipers and the heater is disconnected. For 1955,
Chevrolet's�full-size�model received all-new styling and power. It
was called the "Hot One" in GM's advertising campaign. Chevrolet's
styling was crisp, clean and incorporated a Ferrari-inspired
grille. Bel Airs came with features found on cars in the lower
models ranges plus interior carpet, chrome headliner bands on
hardtops, chrome spears on front fenders, stainless steel window
moldings and full wheel covers. The Bel Air name script in gold
lettering later in the year further distinguished models.
Chevrolets gained a�V-8 engine�option and the option of a
two-speed�Powerglide�automatic or a standard three-speed
Synchromesh manual transmission with optional overdrive for 1955.
The new�265�CID V-8 featured a modern,�overhead
valve,�high-compression, short stroke design that was so good it
remained in production in various displacements for many decades.
"Idiot" lights replaced gauges for the generator and oil pressure.
Motor Trend�magazine gave the Bel Air top marks for
handling.�Popular Mechanics�reported acceleration for a V-8 Bel Air
with�Powerglide�as being 0-60�mph in 12.9 seconds, plus a
comfortable ride, and good visibility. A new option for
V-8-equipped 1955 models was air conditioning, with outlets on each
side of the dashboard; a heavy-duty generator was included on cars
equipped with this option. Competition to this Chevrolet in 1955
included Dodge's Coronet two-door and Ford's Fairlane Club
two-door. This car is currently located at our facility in St.
Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows�57 miles. It
