1955 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210

1955 Chevrolet Bel Air â?" Custom Street Build with 350 V8, Professional Interior, Coated Undercarriage Why This Car Is Special The 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air holds a specific and well-earned place in American automotive history. Along with the 1956 and 1957 models, it forms what collectors commonly call the 'Tri-Five' generation â?" a three-year run that represented a complete break from the slab-sided, upright designs Chevrolet had been producing through the early 1950s. The 1955 model was the first year of this new body style, penned largely by designer Clare MacKichan under Harley Earl's direction. It introduced a lower, wider stance, a Ferrari-inspired egg-crate grille, and wraparound windshield glass that felt genuinely contemporary for its time.
