Up for bid today is an opportunity to go back 61 years in time and bid to own a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 door sedan. 1955 is the iconic General Motors Motorama year that offeredall new styling. It was the year of the introduction of the legendarysmall block Chevy V8.

This particular example started with a highly optioned Blue/Ivory Bel Air 2 door sedan with only 76k miles. It has matching numbers and under the hood a 265 170 hp V8 engine. This particular vehicle under went an extensive frame off nut and bolt restoration. Buying this car would be like going down to the local Chevy dealer and buying a new fully loaded 1955 Bel Air V8 2 door sedan.

The attention to detail is stunning on this automobile as you can see from the photos. It fires up and drives like a new car which is demonstrated in the video.

This car was designed by Clare M. MAcKichan, head of Chevrolet Design Studio from 1953 to 1962. "We all had wanted to do a brand new car and the 1955 was new from the ground up. The car was made to do it...the engine was made to do it... and we did it."

“New” simply wasn’t a big enough word for Chevrolet’s milestone 1955 model. An improved chassis topped by sensational styling would have been enough to make history, but Ed Cole’s engineers just had to stir things up further. They introduced one of the low-priced field’s first overhead-valve V-8s, the vaunted “small-block,” an engine still kicking up dust 55 years later, though basically in name alone. At 265 cubic inches, Chevy’s ground-breaking V-8 not only gave the passenger-car line new life, it also helped saved the two-seat Corvette’s bacon.

Motorama Chevrolet's or Motoramic Chevrolet's set out to invent a vastly improved all new automobile that would reinvent General Motors. And that is exactly what he did. This is an example of the first small block V8 for Chevrolet and the history speaks for itself. General Motors added employees and built over 168000 units due to the popularity.

Nothing says classic American hot rod more than a 55 Chevy sedan. Countless movies have featured this classic model like American Graffiti and Two Lane Blacktop.These cars ripped up the NASCAR tracks and drag strips all over America. These cars were fast and easy to modify and thousands have been modified over the years.

168,313 Chevrolet Bel Air 2dr sedan's were produced in 1955 how many stock ones are left? Not many.

This is the chance of a lifetime to own a completely restored 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 door sedan

I have described this vehicle to the best ofmy knowledge and have included many photos as well as a video. If you have any SPECIFIC questions please don't hesitate to ask. I will respond ASAP.Thank You and GOOD LUCK!
