From an era when styling ruled the road comes this 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air with its eye-catching red and white two-tone paint. The defining side trim-a hallmark of the '56 model-creates a perfect division between the bold red body and crisp white accents. Corvette Rally wheels with 3-prong spinner caps add a performance edge that complements the overall look. The chrome details pop against the vivid paint while subtle window tint offers a contemporary update. The 235/75 R15 tires fill the wheel .....
wells perfectly, giving this Bel Air an authentic fifties look with improved handling characteristics for today's roads.
When you open the door, the gray cloth interior offers straightforward comfort without excess. The bench seats accommodate several passengers with classic simplicity, while the painted dash and door panels show off quality workmanship. Additional gauges mounted below the dash keep track of the V8's vitals, and a tachometer attached to the steering column lets you know when to shift. The factory speedometer cluster remains as GM intended, maintaining this Bel Air's period-correct dashboard appearance. From floor to ceiling, the interior combines authentic 1950s design with practical upgrades for improved usability.
A 283 cubic inch V8 now powers this Bel Air, replacing the factory straight-six for improved performance and driving dynamics. Mated to a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission, the drivetrain allows for easy cruising at any speed. An aluminum radiator provides excellent cooling capacity, while the Edelbrock intake and carburetor offer improved fuel atomization for better throttle response. Electronic ignition gives dependable starts in all conditions. Ram horn exhaust manifolds connected to a dual exhaust system create a mellow V8 tone that fits the car's character perfectly. Power disc brakes supply ample stopping ability, making this Bel Air both fun to drive and easy to control in modern traffic.
