Seller's comments about 1955' Chevrolet Bel Air

See the USA in your Chevrolet was a tune they were humming through the 1950s, and this one just seems to really bring that nostalgia right back. After all, the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop launched a new revolution in car styling, and this one has an impressive level of originality, right down to the paint and motor. Plus, the comprehensive paperwork even shows how this was sold on July 4, 1955... so how much more patriotic can you get with this kind of classic survivor??? The two-tone India Ivory and Cashmere Blue is not only factory-correct, but aside from a few touch-ups, it shows all the right signs of being the factory application. Theres the right amount of maturity that helps tell the survivor story, and at the same time, it continues to have a nice overall shine to give this distinction. Its part of a package that shows exceptional care. The panels are straight, the glass is good, the doors shut and open with confidence, and the full side trim flows across the doors in an almost seamless fashion. In fact, speaking of the brightwork trim, this one has everything complete from the wide grille to the wraparound chrome bumpers, to the jet-inspired hood ornament. Even the correct factory wheel covers are in place, drawing even more attention to the whitewall tires. This one has a well-preserved look because were told it has spent most of its entire life in garages in Oklahoma and Texas. Theres even documentation supporting the belief that the low odometer reflects the cars full actual mileage! The factory-correct blue interior continues the proper time capsule appearance. The seats carry that cool 50s design and have comfortable cloth inserts. The taut door panels, clean headliner, and even working dome lights are all part of a terrific factory package that makes it an awesome survivor. Youll be hard-pressed to find any replacements because anything was done with correct care - like the newer carpeting. You get a beautiful factory steering wheel, and beyond that is the dual cowl dash that had a design shared with the Corvette. The trunk resembles a time capsule with the correct jack and a full-sized spare on a bias-ply tire. Under the hood, youll find a powerhouse that keeps the classic Chevy feeling going. We even have the bill of sale noting the engine number that matches the blocks stamping. Oh yes, this is a numbers-matching Bel Air! The tidy long valve cover in bold blue proudly announces the Blue Flame inline-six motor. The 235 cubic-inch engine is smooth and torque-filled, a mainstay of Chevrolet vehicles for decades. This makes for a fine cruiser. So its great to have this motor maintained correctly so that it fires up readily, runs smoothly, and you even have the proper old-school control with the column-shifted manual transmission. The sale comes with terrific paperwork, including the dealer invoice, bill of sale, title documentation, owners manual, and temp plate. This survivor-level American icon sold on July 4th offers better-bragging rights than youll find in just about any other classic. So if you love to talk about your vintage wheels, this is the one to bring to the party. Call now!
