Description of 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 Original
Presenting the incomparable 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air. This car recently had the ignition converted to a Petronix System. Currently, it won't start; most likely a small issue, but I was able to drive it home from the auto body shop. DO NOT let this car pass you by. LET MY LOSS be your gain!! ALL ORIGINAL condition and was part of the NORTH SHORE OLD CAR CLUB, thelargest and oldest independent antique auto club in New England!! The car shows well and for the right buyer, can be driven immediately with a tune-up. I bought it as an anniversary present for my parents, but am shopping for a more reliable Chevy for them to make memories in.
