1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners of the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air love its classic style, powerful performance, and enjoyable driving experience. Many appreciate the customization options and the nostalgic feel of driving such a timeless car. However, some note that performance can be subdued compared to modern vehicles, especially in terms of braking, and maintenance can be demanding for an older model."
327sb, 350 auto, 3.08 rear, power steering, fully restored to original specs (less drivetrain)
March 10, 2008The Performance is sedate!! Braking OK('ish) for a 55 year old car having the original drum brakes all round (just have to allow for extra stopping distance...). Build quality excellent...this car is still solid after all these years. Appearance speaks for itself!! The car is extremely fun to drive & you get plenty of thumbs up at the traffic lights/crossings...
September 26, 2010Great acceleration, smooth ride, solid body, Good two-tone paint, beautiful roomy interior, 10-15 mpg good considering 4 barrel carb, low maintenance, plenty of trunk room, tinted glass, you can actually sit in the engine area to work on this car, FUN TO DRIVE!!!

March 20, 2011Not much to say. Awesome classic. Was mildly customised with one piece flip front, 283ci, American Racing wheels.

October 15, 2011Absolute joy to drive, I'm only 20, but of all the cars I've had, none compare to this machine. It's packing over 500 horse power in the 400 V8 we dropped in and with 5 speed and curb weight to spare it has no problem putting the rubber to the highway
September 5, 2009this was my firt car, so it wasn't much to look at... couldn't afford a paint job, wheels, or any upgrades. I did save up for some seat covers! It had a 265 ci V8, so it was a little cooler than Bob's, his had a 6 cyl. and was a green 4 door (it was his parents).
February 24, 2010Great restorable car, just added a/c, power brakes, new crate motor, new automatic overdrive to get better gas mileage on the road. Which didnt really help. New rear end that we won on the Hot rod Power tour. We put about 5000 miles or so on it every yr in june on the Hot Rod Power Tour.
