Seller's comments about 1955' Chevrolet Bel Air

Collectible Motorcar of Atlanta is proud to offer this amazing drop top 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. Honestly, can you really do better than a blue-on-blue 1955 Chevy Bel Air convertible? You cant beat the look, a small block Chevy V8 offers plenty of performance, and there are a lot fewer of these around than youd expect. If you like the 50s, there are few cars more iconic than this. A two-tone blue on blue paint job has held up well and looks natural on a Bel Air convertible, and if youre looking for attention, you wont be able to escape it whenever youre behind the wheel of this car. This car has just recently hopped off the boat from across the pond, where it spent most of its life in Bogota, Columbia. The navy blue automatic top operates as it should, and is ready to be dropped for these hot summer days. The consignor states that the paint and bodywork were done under 10 years ago and its simply stunning from any angle; this car will make grown men stop and stare as you motor past. Obviously the work was well done, and it has a great shine that youll love polishing up on a Saturday afternoon and good panel gaps that suggest that this car has led a good life and there was a lot of time invested in the restoration. If you want gorgeous, this Chevrolet delivers in a very big way. The interior is equally flashy and just as well restored. Wide bench seats will accommodate six in a pinch, and the pure 1950s look of the two-tone light blue and cobalt blue upholstery will make everyone want a ride. Correct Bel Air carpets, matching floor mats, and new door panels complement the original dash and steering wheel, which are in truly excellent condition for their age. All the gauges are restored as well, and everything works like it should, the hallmark of a top-quality restoration, and it shows just above 800 miles since the restoration was completed, so its still very fresh. A convertible top with clear rear window fits well, but we all know that its for emergencies only anyway. And the trunk is beautifully finished with a correct rubber mat and a matching spare tire and wheel assembly. The consignor states that this Chevy is powered by a numbers matching 265 cuin V8. Dressed in Chevy Orange paint, Chevrolet lettering valve covers, and correct hardware, it looks quite authentic. Of note, theres a modern 12-volt alternator in place of the original generator and a great-sounding dual exhaust system with stock-style mufflers for a 1950s sound. A 3 on the tree manual transmission means that this car is always ready to go and drum brakes allow for stopping power on all four corners. Painted on the steel wheels are small Chevrolet logos that match very well with the light blue outline, and are complimented by white wall tires that handle great. A beautiful, high-quality car that neatly preserves the original look and feel while adding a few upgrades that make it a pleasure to drive. This is a fantastic restored Chevy thats ready to drive and enjoy. Call today!
