As one of the most iconic nameplates of the 50s, the Bel Air was designed for clientele that wanted to feel special. The car was meant to stand out, be noticed, and remind everyone on the road that Chevrolet and their Bel Air drivers were a tier above everyone else. With the success of the debut model, the second-gen Bel Air, as featured here, was released in 1955, and along with a complete redesign, the ride itself was significantly improved. GM's "Hot One" was very well received and was the highlight of motor magazines around the world. This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible Restomod was completed in 2020 while maintaining its numbers and is currently up for sale.
Chevrolet was aware that the second-generation Bel Air had to look the part if it wanted to build on its legacy, and so the designers were asked not to hold back. Chrome was abundant, and even a page out of Ferrari's book was taken to design the front grille. While a chance to witness automotive craftsmanship of such degree is rare, this 55 Restomod allows us to go back in time. The Coral and White two-tone paint job is a tribute to subtle elegance, the reportedly new chrome bumpers and glass parts add in the bling, and the updated Bel Air badges remind us of its significance. The coral theme continues within the interior, this time in the form of plush leather seats envisioned to accommodate worthy occupants. A look across the gleaming chrome dashboard will reveal a new classic radio. There is always the option to drive in comfort via the classic air conditioning unit that will keep you cool when you throw on the new convertible top.
Powering this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible is its rebuilt original 265ci small block V8 engine along with a rebuilt automatic transmission. The owner also reported that the car has also been fitted with a new radiator, gas tank, and gas filler.

Let’s get one thing straight, a Bel Air in beautiful condition is rare to come by. You can develop a bond with this kind of soulful car and it is always a great time when you show up in one of these at a car show. What you see before you is an example of the 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe. This model year is an important mark for Bel Air as Chevrolet renamed its series, and the Bel Air name was applied to the premium model range. It was given a facelift and was advertised as "Entirely new through and through". This particular Bel Air is a restored car with just 20K miles on the build. The interior is said to be mostly original and is currently available for sale in Florida.
Let’s travel back to 1950s automotive history. Out of the herd of iconic vehicles born during this time, the Chevrolet Bel Air is undeniably a work of art, a rolling Mona Lisa. For the same reason, this stunning car has become a high-dollar collector car. The Bel Air saw a notable second generation during its three decades of manufacturing, which came to be known as the "Tri Fives," alluding to the three years of manufacture that took place in the 1950s. The second generation was born in 1955 and received new, revamped styling epitomizing Chevy's new slogan, "The Hot One." This alluring example of the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air is up for sale with just 76,000 miles on its odometer.
Chevy’s Bel Air nameplate ran between 1950 and 1981, initially as a trim level for the automaker’s full-size cars, before becoming a separate model by 1953. Named after the swish Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, the Bel Air denoted a luxurious automobile that was highly desirable to be seen in. If you’d like to relive those days by driving a second-generation Chevy Bel Air, we’ve got a first-generation 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air for sale here. Done up in a restomod style, you can enjoy some modern creature comforts while showcasing the pinnacle of fifties automotive design for the current generation to appreciate.
Would you like a first-gen Camaro with a bit of spice under the hood?
