1955 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210

1955 Chevrolet Bel Air â?" 409/425hp Turbo-Fire V8, Custom Pro-Street Build Why This Car Is Special The 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air is one of the most recognized shapes in American automotive history. It was the first year of the so-called 'Tri-Five' generation â?" a complete redesign that replaced the stodgy, upright styling of the early 1950s Chevrolets with something genuinely modern. Chief stylist Clare MacKichan and his team drew inspiration from the 1953 Motorama show cars, giving the 1955 Bel Air a wraparound windshield, a lower roofline, and a Ferrari-inspired egg-crate grille that looked nothing like anything Detroit had offered at that price point before.
