1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible

1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible

Chevrolet’s most iconic Fifties offering is deservedly finished here in equally iconic two-tone Turquoise and White and perfectly complemented with a White top and wide Whitewall tires. Like the rest of this astonishing car, the matching Turquoise and White interior is so impressively finished as to be judged better than original. The same preparation can be seen in the engine compartment, wherein resides a 265 CI Power Pack small block V-8.

1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible – sold for $51,700

Other than its assembly at GM’s Flint, Michigan, plant, very little is known of the early history of this exceptional Bel Air convertible. The car is believed to wear its authentic livery, as its Fisher body plate clarifies an original color scheme of Black Onyx paint over an interior of red and beige vinyl. At some point over the last twenty years, this Chevrolet was treated to a thorough restoration that renewed the vibrancy of its presentation. The beautifully detailed Onyx paint shines deeply and the red upholstery is supple and pristine, both displaying as-new quality.
