OVERVIEW

This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air four-door hardtop was restored in 2018 and is powered by a 327ci V8 backed by a Powerglide two-speed transmission.

Finished in Desert Rose and Cream over a tan vinyl and beige cloth interior, this three-owner Bel Air is available now and comes from the selling dealer with maintenance and mileage records, purchase documents, an owner’s manual, an uninstalled new clock, and a clear Mississippi title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The Desert Rose exterior received Cream accents in 2018. Features include chrome bumpers, a chrome grille, a driver-side mirror, a fender-mounted antenna, aftermarket electric windshield wipers, Bel Air emblems and side trim, and a hidden fuel filler. The selling dealer states that the bumpers have been re-chromed but the smaller pieces of brightwork show signs of pitting upon close inspection.

EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES

A set of 15-inch body-color steel wheels with full hub caps is wrapped in new Goodyear whitewall radial tires.

An aftermarket stereo with auxiliary ports that support a headphone jack and iPhone/iPod connections and aftermarket kick panels with speakers have been installed.
