*1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Custom Convertible*Sometimes there is a car that is so iconic, it transcends being sought after by just classic car enthusiasts and becomes an artifact recognized by almost anyone in the general public. If there was one car to epitomize this phenomenon, it would be the Tri-Five Chevrolet- and a Bel Air Convertible to be specific. This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Custom Convertible is an absolutely outstanding example that has been thoroughly restored and upgraded over the years to make it not just look better than new but also drive better. Finished in a gorgeous Gypsy Red and India Ivory, this Bel Air has a perfect stance, sitting on a set of chrome 5-spoke Craiger Mag wheels.Even from across the parking lot you can tell that this Bel Air is a quality build, every piece of it just looks right, and the closer you get the more you appreciate it. The restoration took over 2 years to complete and is based off of an Art Morrison chassis which brings modern handling and comfort to this classic. Considerable time was spent dialing in the body to ensure excellent panel gaps and no waves or dips, before it was painted with PPG two-stage paint, topped by multiple layers of clear coat for a show car finish. All of the chrome pieces were removed and triple-dipped to ensure the chrome was as shiny as possible, with the bumpers and emblems having a real mirror-like shine. The convertible top is a brand new fabric unit built by Haartz which is of the highest quality and provides significant insulation when up, and a power top mechanism has been affixed.The interior is finished in luxurious tan Italian leather, which is accented by red stitching throughout the car. A custom rear boot for the convertible top was made to match in the same leather, and makes for a truly cohesive looking package. Sitting between the driver and passenger on the floor is a custom leather wrapped console with switches for some of the upgraded features such as the power top, Bluetooth stereo with custom speaker setup and Vintage Air A/C. The carpet has also been upgraded with high end German-style square weave carpet in tan that gives the car a remarkably luxurious, yet classic feel when you get inside. An original style steering wheel frames a new set of gauges that look original, but offer accurate readouts in the standard layout.Although everything about this car is impressive, where it truly shines is beneath the surface. Sitting up front is a brand new fuel injected 383ci stroker V8 with aluminum heads and a modern serpentine pulley system. When combined with a Griffin aluminum radiator and dual electric fans, this is a rock sold setup from a reliability standpoint and offers more than enough power to have some fun behind the wheel. Power is then sent through a custom 4-speed automatic gearbox out to the rear wheels. With the Art Morrison chassis as a base, a custom front subframe with a fully independent suspension and power rack and pinion steering has been installed up front. In the rear, a 4-link suspension from a Corvette is paired with billet control arms to give this Bel Air great handling and a smooth ride. Disc brakes sit at all 4 wheels and 4 piston calipers help slow this car down reliably with the help of drilled and vented discs.It's hard to deny the classic beauty of a Tri-Five Chevrolet and there is no doubt it is a car that has earned its place in history. But getting behind the wheel of a stock example leaves much to be desired. If you love the look of a convertible Bel Air and want to enjoy the drive just as much, this is a perfect example for you, set up to be the perfect car to take to shows or drive on a road trip with 4 people in great comfort. To replicate this build would take tremendous amounts of time and money, whereas this car is finished and shows just over 200 miles since the completion of the build last year.*Key Features*  * 383ci V8    * Fuel Injection    * Aluminum Heads    * Griffin Radiator    * Electric Fans    * 2.5 Corvette Exhaust  * Art Morrison Chassis    * Full Independent Front Suspension    * Corvette 4-Link Rear End  * 4-Wheel Disc Brakes  * Vintage Air  * Haartz Convertible Top    * Electric Top Mechanism  * Rain Gear Intermittent Wipers  * Bluetooth Stereo*Additional Information*  * Build Binder w/Parts Book  * Wheel LocksFor more information on this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Custom Convertible or any of our 100+ High-Performance, Exotic and Special Interest cars always in stock, contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales consultants or always feel free to drop by our 40,000+ sq ft of Indoor Showrooms in Bellevue, WA - Home of an Exciting Inventory of Luxury, Exotic, High Performance and Collectible Automobiles.

It's hard to find a more all-American cruiser than a red and white 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop. And it will be hard to find a more cruiser-ready car than this one.  It's a well-done restomod with subtilty integrated additions like fuel injection, an overdrive transmission, air conditioning and Bluetooth.  In fact, there were big investments all around this car, and all were done within about the last five years.  It was all about creating the most authentic look possible and hiding all the best cruiser-ready features.  So take some time looking over the full package because some of the best upgrades are so well integrated that you may miss them with just a casual glance.  HIGHLIGHTS  *Iconic first-year Tri-Five hardtop *Desirable red and white paint *Classic Bel Air trim correctly separating the two-tone along the body *Clean lines, clear glass, and pliable weather stripping show good fundamentals *Polished dual exhaust tips *Classic whitewalls are really modern tires *Exceptionally fresh and authentic two-tone interior *Modern R134a air conditioning  *Retro-style AM/FM/XM stereo with Bluetooth *Two cup holder consoles *Upgraded sports steering wheel looks like classic Bel Air unit *Tilt column *Upgraded Classic Instruments gauges appear original *350 cubic-inch V8 with Holley Sniper EFI *Headers feeding X-pipe dual exhaust *Large aluminum radiator, HEI distributor, and upgraded pulleys *Four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive *Power steering *Power brakes with drilled  slotted front discs  There is an instant attraction to this car.  It's a first-year Tri-Five Chevy in a stunningly coordinated red and white package.  So the only way it gets any more patriotic is if you're standing next to it wearing your bluest Levi's and holding an apple pie.  But what we really love is how everything works in harmony to be a real driver.  For example, people are more likely to notice how the red wheels and wide whitewall tires nicely coordinate with the exterior paint. They are less likely to see that behind this classic setup is a modern tread for modern touring.  It's also hard to see the fuel injection, disc brakes upgrade, overdrive transmission, Bluetooth radio, upgraded steering wheel on a tilt column, or overdrive transmission. You can tell this Chevy wants to put the quality classic feeling out there in front, and it saves the excellent driver upgrades for you to understand only when you're behind the wheel (or bragging about them.)  That makes for an upper-tier restomod, and those are always in demand.  So don't miss out, call today!
