1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible For Sale 265 Turbo Fire Motor with Single 2 Barrel Carburetor Powerglide Automatic Transmission Finished in Gypsy Red And White With A Coordinating Interior Power Convertible Top with New Motor, Works Perfectly New Motor Mounts New Mechanical Fuel Pump Correct GM Hoses And Clamps New Battery New Shocks Straight Body Correct Wide White Tires Starts Right Up, Very Reliable Just Under 18k Miles On an Older RestorationIn 1955, Chevrolet completely re- designed its top-of-the-line Bel Air both inside and out. The updated style on the '55 Bel-Air was bolder with a more square look, and kicked off the Tri-Five era for Chevy. From the front of the car, the most notable changes were the new-look grilles, freshly restyled bumpers, wraparound windshields, and the famous "hooded" headlights that were carried through the rest of the Tri-Five era cars. The interiors on the '55 Bel Airs were plusher than more economic 150 and 210 models and the new interior design would become an iconic characteristic as well. 1955 was also a notable year for Chevrolet since it was the first year Chevy offered a V8 engine option on its passenger cars. This particular show- quality example comes to us from a prominent east coast collector out of his very large collection of vintage cars and trucks. A freshly detailed and smooth running 265 Cubic Inch V8 engine that is paired with a single 2 barrel Rochester carburetor that pushed out 162 horsepower in its day. The 265 V8 is hooked up to a Powerglide Automatic Transmission so that just about anybody can take this beauty for a spin around the block. Dual exhaust gives this classic Chevy a nice throaty sound. The white vinyl power convertible top is in great shape and goes up and down with the simple push of a button. This Chevrolet rides on 4 wide whitewall bias-ply tires with full wheelcovers giving the car a truly classic look. The interior on this Bel-Air Convertible is Very Nice. The front and rear bench seats have been reupholstered in the correct material and color scheme. The dash, door panels and steering wheel all appear to be in their stock configuration and are in good condition. The dash is equipped with a 110 MPH speedometer, added temperature gauge, and oil pressure gauges...
