1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop

A beautifully restored 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop finished in bright red and off-white with a red interior. This classic Tri-Five Chevrolet keeps its vintage character while adding tasteful upgrades for comfort, drivability, and performance.

Power comes from a 400 small-block V8 paired with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. It is also equipped with air conditioning, power steering, and 4-wheel disc brakes, making it a strong cruiser with modern road manners.

The exterior features a clean two-tone finish, smooth bumpers, smoked glass, and a staggered set of Billet Specialties wheels. Inside, the cabin keeps a factory-inspired look with upgraded gauges, a tilt steering column, custom steering wheel, and a floor-mounted shifter.
