1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop
Setting off arguably the most iconic vehicle group of the 50's was the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. This took Chevrolet from being the place to go for reliable family cars to now also offering a performance powerhouse. They incorporated American styling with the brand new V8 known as the "The Hot One." Chief Engineer, Ed Cole, introduced this lightweight motor that forever changed American hot rodding. The egg crate grill was inspired from Ferrari and with the flat hood lines it was clear the prominent separated fender design was a thing of the past. These cars are the base for many modern restomods but not all restomods and customs are created equal. This clean 1955 is a step above the rest and is one of the coolest hotrod '55s you will see. It is a true Bel Air Hardtop that came with a V8 but is now so much more than what it was from the factory. The body is in excellent condition and all very solid with no rust. It is painted in a very clean Red with Black which is a nice combination and it has a very slick finish. It still wears its original Bel Air trim and also has the correct nose ornaments but the rear deck has been completely smoothed. Gloss Black reveals everything and you can tell this was done right because if you were unfamiliar with these you would have no clue it has been decked. It has the California tuck bumpers which really cleans up the car and the license plate has been fitted in place, inspired by the Kindig-it Chevy. To open the trunk you now use a switch in the glove box or lever hidden next to the gas cap. The lights all work properly and it has the LED lights in rear. The glass is all good throughout and all tinted. The car has an excellent stance and the Budnik true billet custom wheels look great on it. They tuck under the fenders nicely and are 20 inch in rear and 18 inch in front with very cool knock off style center caps.
No matter what show you pull into you are definitely going to want to pop the hood. The 383ci ZZ GM crate motor is topped with Borla Injection stacks which adds to performance but let's also admit, looks badass! That portion of the motor is Blacked out with a majority of the other components being chrome or painted to match the Red on the body. The aftermarket Be Cool radiator utilizes dual electric fans and polished hard line hoses. That is mounted to the Black radiator support and the firewall along with inner fenders are all nicely painted Red. It has a nice front runner serpentine belt system which cleans everything up as well. The car sounds great with a Magnaflow exhaust but when you really want to turn heads you can open it up with the electric cutouts. The motor has a lot of power and transfers it back to the 4L60E transmission and Currie 9 inch with 3:73 gears. It rides down the road very well with a Ridetech rear suspension and adjustable coil overs under all four corners. It also has Wilwood (hydroboost) disc brakes under all 4 and up front are drop spindles with tubular A-arms. The steering features a Flamin River power rack and pinion with a PSC canister. Other very nice mechanical features includes the electronic emergency brake.
The interior is beautifully done and is fully custom. It is done in a two tone Beige leather with Red accents throughout. It is in excellent condition and all very high quality. The bench seat has a fold down center arm rest and both front/rear have the Chevy "V" embroidered on the headrests. The carpet is done in all Red and looks like new. On the floor is a custom center console built to house the Lokar shifter and cupholders. The door panels are very cool with flowing armrests, billet handles, and a nice Red accent that goes with the overall flow. The dash is a two tone Black and Red which has the same quality paint treatment as the body. The original bowtie trim has been replaced with nice aftermarket trim. The original gauges have been replaced with an all in one Dakota Digital gauge cluster and all work. The stereo has been hidden away in the glove box and utilizes an amp to deliver a great sound. The Vintage AC/Heat features controls that resemble the originals and all of the under dash vents are custom mounted in upholstered panels. The polished Ididit tilt column looks great and it is topped off with a Red leather wrapped Budnik steering wheel. We aren't done though because if you look up you will see the fully custom Red and Beige headliner. The trunk is equally as clean and also has the two tone Beige and Red.
The car is absolutely beautiful in person and the quality of the build becomes very apparent when you see it with your own eyes and sit behind the wheel.
