1954 Chevrolet Bel Air

$24,995 Cruisin Classics is pleased to present this classic 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air. This car is a genuine piece of Americana that's bound to turn heads and bring smiles to faces wherever it goes! This is an older restoration, but it still presents exceedingly well. The cowl tag tells us it's dressed in its original colors - a Turquoise body with ivory top (563). It was resprayed when restored, and the paint has held up well over the years and it's still in good driver-quality condition. If the cool color combination doesn't grab your attention, the immense amount of gleaming chrome and brightwork sure will. The front view features a bulbous hood with jet-style hood ornament and a colorful Chevy crest, round headlights in bright bezels, a 5-tooth chrome grille, and a bright chrome bumper with guards. Yet more bright trim comes into view as you walk around to the side of the car - rocker molding, window trim, door edge guards, rain deflectors, door handles, side mirror, gas door ornamentation, and beautiful body side molding with a white center accent toward the rear that ties in the color of the top. A white and chrome adjustable sun visor sits above the windshield and body-color fender skirts add a classy touch at the rear. The cherry on top of the side view are the body-color steel wheels with bright full-size hubcaps all wrapped in BF Goodrich Silvertown wide white-wall radials - a simply perfect choice. Around back you'll find chrome framed taillights, a mirror-finish bumper with overrider, dual chrome exhaust tips, and another Chevy crest and PowerGlide badge on the decklid. Under the hood sits a correct 235ci 3.9 liter Blue Flame inline 6-cylinder that was factory-rated at 125hp - not exactly a powerhouse, but reliable and almost indestructible. The block is topped with a blue valve cover with Blue Flame 125 call-out. The single barrel carburetor sits off to the side and it's topped with a correct oil-bath air cleaner. A quick look around reveals power steering, a 6-volt electrical system, and dual exhaust with newer-looking Xlerator mufflers that sound great. The six-cylinder is mated up to a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission that sends power to the rear via a 10-bolt rear axle. Stopping power is provided by 4-wheel manual drum brakes. Open the doors to discover an attractive and comfortable green, teal, and white interior. The door panels are a combination of white vinyl, teal fabric, green carpet, and bright trim and they are in very good condition. We noted during our inspection that the rear passenger window operates with difficulty and the rear drivers-side seems stuck in the up position, but the front windows operate as they should. The window surrounds are body-color and so is the upper dash. Both the front and rear bench seats are covered with white vinyl and teal fabric with bright silver piping. The seats are comfortable and in excellent condition. Overhead is a tight white vinyl headliner and underfoot is green hook & loop carpet topped with black rubber Chevy bowtie floormats. Ahead of the driver is a large 2-spoke turquoise steering wheel with a bright full-circle horn ring (working). The dash is vintage cool and sports ample chrome touches and a white bottom section that matches the exterior roof color. On the dash are a 110mph speedometer and working gauges for temp, gas, battery, and oil pressure as well as an inop. clock. Also on the dash are controls for lights, wipers (inop.), heater and fan (inop.) and an AM radio (inop.). From the center of the dash to the right side is a vertically-ribbed chrome section that covers a speaker and the glovebox door. In the glovebox are two owners manuals (1 original, 1 reproduction), a formula for the turquoise paint, some receipts, and a mileage log kept by the owner who restored the car. The odometer currently reads 22,736 miles and the title states exceeds mechanical limits. The yearly mileage log shows us that the odometer read 3,698 miles ba
