1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Six Cylinder Convertible

  • Chassis Number: VC55B122655
Every potential and available option was included as standard on the Bel Air. It was a package filled with comfort, convenience and styling. Closed body styles were given carpeting as standard. On the Bel Air Sport Coupe the chrome-ribbed headliner was standard, as were the selection of upholstery fabrics, gold Bel Air script, and horizontal chrome strips on the sides of the front fender and doors. There were a variety of colors to select from in 1955 in both sold and two-tone styles.

Only ten percent of the buyers selected the Convertible Bel Air which has made them among the most desirable, rare, and collectable of all Bel Air body styles. This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible was offered for sale at the 2007 RM Auctions held at Meadow Brook. It is powered by an overhead-valve V8 engine that displaces 265 cubic inches and is capable of producing 180 horsepower. There is a two-speed Powerglide automatic gearbox and four-wheel drum brakes. The elegant body rests comfortably on a 115-inch wheelbase. There are power brakes, a power top, and the optional power package. It has been treated to a restoration which included an overhaul of the engine. It has the sought-after Wonderbar radio, the optional chrome package, proper carpet saver mats, and period-correct literature and sales brochures. At auction, it was estimated to sell between $65,000 - $85,000. Bidding reached $55,000 but was unable to satisfy the vehicle's reserve. It left the auction unsold.
