205 bhp, 265 cu. in. OHV V-8 engine with a single four-barrel carburetor, three-speed manual transmission, independent front suspension with rear leaf springs, and power front disc and rear drum brakes. Wheelbase: 115 in.
Like a glamor queen ready for the runway, this sparkling Bel Air is heavily adorned with more factory jewelry than normally found on a 1956 model. The India Ivory over Twilight Turquoise paint scheme is picture-perfect and accentuated with exceptional exterior trim, which includes accessory bumper guards, BFGoodrich wide whitewall tires with full wire-wheel covers, fender skirts, dual-exhaust tips, stainless rocker moldings, dual mirrors, T-3 headlamps, and dual fender mascots.
The presentation is marvelous, and the great attention to detail continues into the passenger compartment. Here, one can find a fully restored interior that has excellent upholstery, seat belts, a dash prism, a tissue dispenser, a pushbutton AM radio, and an electric clock. The phenomenally clean engine bay is home to the 'Power Pack' four-barrel, 265-cubic inch V-8, a dual reservoir for the power disc brake system, power steering, a transmission cooler, an electric cooling fan, and a tidy aftermarket air-conditioning system.
Upon close inspection, one will find minimal defects on the stainless trim and some minor flaws in the paint, but this is easily overlooked when considering the seemingly endless array of rare accessories outfitted on this beautiful Bel Air.
