1955 Chevrolet Bel Air

Description

WOW! What else can we say about this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air except that it is absolutely stunning! Tri-five Chevys are a core car of the classic car hobby, and this specimen is the epitome of why they are. From factory correct builds to wild customs and everything in between, the possibilities are endless with cars like this.

When this car hits the road it stands out with a nice glossy finish of bright red paint. That vivid paint looks excellent and covers smooth fenders. It's not the correct color to the car, but when you have a car like this you aren't exactly bragging about how correct it is; you're bragging about how cool it is! One of the neatest things about this car is that bright work that accents the red paint very nicely. The exterior remains in stock form with nothing wild or suggestive screaming at you, which is a good thing. The body is straight and solid and this Bel Air makes the perfect candidate for your next weekend cruiser.

We've said it once and we'll say it again, red and black color combinations age well. This tri-five sports the same timeless combination with a clean black interior. The front and rear bench seats are covered in taut vinyl and cloth upholstery making a comfortable cabin for you and all your passengers. The red dash provides a nice contrast inside and houses an AM radio as well as switches for heat, defrost, and air conditioning. Mounted beneath the dash are three auxiliary gauges that help monitor engine vitals, and an added column mounted tachometer makes sure you keep the engine revs in check.

The engine is a 327 cubic inch V8 with good looking Edelbrock valve covers. The tried and true small block is mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. Yes, this is a three pedal, gear banging car...adding even more value to the fun factor! That V8 breathes through a chrome air cleaner and aluminum intake manifold , and she exhales through a dual exhaust system that makes a mean muscular note. Making sure the fun doesn't get out of hand are disc brakes up front, and rear leaf spring suspension and A-arms up front keep the Grand Am Radial GTs planted to the road and all of the hardware is ready to provide more miles of enjoyment!

When you're looking for a car that makes the hobby just plain fun, you're usually looking for a car like this '55 Bel Air. It's got the familiar look that all enthusiasts know and enjoy. The manual transmission with a high-revving small block, with great sound, is icing on the cake, and makes driving this car a blast. Call today!
