The Chevy Bel Air was produced from 1950-1981. In 1953 the Bel Air name changed from a body shape to a premium trim level. Called the “Hot One” by GM’s marketing department, the second generation Bel Air was introduced in 1955 with a new clean and crisp appearance. 1956 introduced 2-tone body sides and graceful front and rear wheel openings as well as a more traditional front grill. A life long Colorado car purchased new in Denver at Capital Chevrolet, this Belair has had just 3 owners. The second owner, performed a complete restoration on the rust free car in 1982 and it has been lovingly cared for ever since. With the extremely rare color combination of Dusk Plum and India Ivory, the option list separates this 56 coupe from all the rest. Equipped with power steering, padded dash, wonder bar radio, rear radio speaker, emergency warning light, tissue dispenser, operating factory clock and day/night mirror. With “speedline” styling and a 265 cubic inch, overhead valve, high compression, short stroke V8, the Belair was the premium Chevrolet of its time. • Full documentation from new • Many rare options • 265 cu in V8 • Just 3 owners • Concours condition
