1955 Chevrolet Bel Air

In 1955, the Bel Air received a total redesign. With clean lines and sports car inspired design, the Bel Air had wide consumer appeal. The first successful offering of a V8 by Chevrolet, the Bel Air's performance Was widely recognized as superior in '55. The '55 model-year marked a renaissance for the Bel Air name and greatly enhanced America's love for Chevrolet cars. This '55 4-door Bel Air is nothing short of a truly special example. Recently acquired by Motor City Classic Cars from a meticulous owner, this 4-door was restored with originality in mind with a touch of modern added. All around the exterior the car's Regal Turquoise and India Ivory gleams, a little extra in the sunlight thanks to a touch of metallic fleck added when the car was repainted. The car's brightwork gleams and demonstrates how much this car has been loved. Inside, the matching turquoise and ivory interior shows extremely well, inviting you to jump in and fire up the car's 265ci V8. Sliding the car into drive, you realize this automatic transmission is no Powerglide, but instead a 700-R4 4-speed automatic transmission. The previous owner added this transmission to make the car highway worthy on nights when he and his spouse would cruise to drive-ins. With ice-cold Vintage A/C, this Bel Air is ready to roll. It is rare that a 4-door Bel Air comes around that is truly special and captures the attention of those around it. This Bel Air is just that. Unless stated otherwise, mileage on the odometer is exempt and unknown if original. ----...
