The tri-five Bel Airs are always some of the hottest cars on the market, and this 1956 we have here is sure to make anyone envious of the new owner. It has been restored but still retains a lot of the originality in its looks and has the added powertrain and driving enhancements to make it the best of both worlds. The legendary Bel Air is powered by none other than the equally as legendary small block Chevrolet 350 cubic inch V8. The block and heads are painted in Chevrolet orange and topped off with a chrome Chevrolet lid air cleaner and chrome valve covers, chrome aluminum intake, chrome alternator, MSD electronics, cast-iron exhaust, dual exhaust, modern EFI system, oversize performance radiator, with the power is routed through an automatic transmission, shifted on the column. The go power is put to the ground via the classic chrome 5-spoke mag wheels and black sidewall tires to give it a great performance look and stance. The interior is a great match to the paint scheme with the black and white upholstery covering the front bench seat and the matching rear seat as well. The factory dash retains the stock look with all the factory, switches, gauges and controls with an aftermarket gauge cluster under the dash, a modern stereo radio system, black mats, large black factory steering wheel, and a restored trunk area with mats and a spare tire and wheel too. The Grey and Black paint scheme is a great fit on these Bel Airs, and this car shows why. Even non-car people know the familiar shape and classic styling of the 55-57′ Chevrolets. Our grey over black two tone has a slick and shiny finish with tasteful chrome trim, front and rear chrome bumpers, the iconic hood emblem and grill, and those familiar rear fenders. This is an iconic classic automobile and a real piece of American history. One look and it’s easy to see why so many people have fallen in love with the Chevrolet Bel Air. Ours looks great from every angle.
