The 1955 Chevrolet has become one of the most iconic examples of Americana that it nearly defies description. Everything seemed to come together in this model. It had tasteful and trend setting styling, it introduced the new overhead valve smallblock V8 that would be the industry benchmark for decades, it was priced right and the timing was perfect with America heady from post war optimism and a newfound sense of self.

The one offered here is made more desirable with it convertible top and features not only the optional V8 but is also the four barrel equipped Power Pak version making 180 hp with 265 CID. An automatic transmission, power steering, power top and power brakes. The body off full restoration has ensured it will be enjoyable for many years to come.
