The 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible presented here was the recipient of a thorough restoration that was completed in the 1980s, adhering to very high standards of authenticity. It has more recently been cosmetically restored and detailed to insure the same quality. Equipped with an automatic transmission, power brakes and a power top; this is an easy and enjoyable car to operate. With the optional power pack option, consisting of a single four-barrel carburetor, dual exhausts and deflectors that boosts output 18 horsepower over the standard V-8, the Bel Air is also a strong performer.

Since the completion of the Bel Air’s restoration, which included an overhaul of the original engine, it has been driven sparingly and shows 729 miles on the odometer. The car is reported to drive and operate excellently, and it is in “superior mechanical and cosmetic overall condition.” Other desirable features found on this Chevrolet convertible include a Wonderbar radio, the optional chrome package and the proper carpet saver mats. This highly-optioned, very comfortable and enjoyable Bel Air Convertible is one of the most iconic cars of the 1950s. Given the quality of the restoration and overall condition, this Chevrolet will continue to appreciate.
