Description of 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 |
This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air is a cool Tri-Five Chevy with an awesome hardtop profile, an A/C interior, upgraded crate V8, overdrive transmission, and a full red look inside and out. In other words, here's your new favorite ride. The Bel Air is a true icon of the American open road, and so it's great to have it with a true red-blooded appearance. It's a modern clearcoat application to make sure the sunlight rolls smoothly over its curvaceous sheetmetal. But we all know the best shine comes from all that iconic chrome on the bumpers, grille, emblems, and jet-inspired hood ornament. Plus, the window trim draws added attention to the ultra-desirable pillarless hardtop profile. It's a straight and complete coupe that gets the classic style right. But those dual exhaust tips and 15-inch polished American Racing wheels to announce that this Chevy is upgraded to enjoy the drive. The interior is all about giving you vintage style with the right well-integrated upgrades. You have two rows of wide bench seats that continue the bold red look, but not it's also joined by a tasteful tan. The door panels, headliner, carpeting, and dash all coordinate with this two-tone theme and have a fresh look of quality. The focal point of the interior is the Bel Air's classic dual-cowl dash. It has the clean look and bright trim we all love, but as you look a little deeper, you'll also spot well-integrated upgrades. This includes a retro-style AM/FM digital radio tuner, a SunPro auxiliary gauge trio, and a full setup for cold-blowing air conditioning. That classic-looking steering wheel is even a smaller diameter unit mounted on a tilt column. There's a lot more going on in the engine bay than there ever was in 1955, but you can also instantly see they took the time to upgrade it all with a clean and tidy setup. At the center is a shining small block V8. It looks great with plenty of polish on the intake, Chevrolet valve covers, air grabber, alternator, and more. When you look beyond the style, there's the substance of a fresher 350 cubic-inch crate motor. This V8 is upgraded further with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, HEI Ignition, high-performance silicone plug wires, and headers feeding a proper dual exhaust. Power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and wide BF Goodrich tires make sure this enhanced-power Bel Air is also a fine all-around cruiser. Plus, the four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive means this classic is ready for even the highway. When you want an impressive classic that can also be enjoyably driven to shows near and far, you know this is the hardtop you've been waiting for. Call today!!! |
