The Fifties were called “The Golden Age of Capitalism”. This mindset of demanding the best and most luxurious was translated into the automotive industry as well, hence the birth of models like the Chevrolet Bel-Air. The Bel-Air was a full-sized car with ample luxury and comfort, and it was a status symbol to own one of these beauties. Chevrolet produced the Bel-Air from 1949 to 1980 in multiple body styles, such as hardtop, coupe, sedan, convertible, and station wagon. Our subject vehicle is one from the latter, a classic second-generation 1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air Nomad 2-Door Station Wagon from California with reportedly just 10,000 miles after restoration.
This 1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air Nomad 2-Door Station Wagon, which will make any passerby ogle at it to no end, is draped in a bright red exterior which was repainted during the restoration and reportedly cost $17,000. It sits on a set of retro daisy-style wheels from American Racing. The front has been lowered by 1” providing the vehicle with improved stance when at a standstill. During the restoration the frame was powder coated for extra protection. The Bel-Air is also known for its abundance of chrome, which incidentally has been re-polished and chromed including all the trims. The interior of this immaculate station wagon features an era appropriate red and white leather. The door trims are also done in red and white leather, and it is equipped with matching red carpets with the Chevrolet logo. The air conditioner is from Vintage Air. The chrome does not end with the exterior, it extends all the way to the knobs, switches, dash, and steering wheel, all have been repolished.
The second-generation Bel-Air range was powered by a range of V6 and V8 engines with displacements between 215 and 283ci. This 1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air Nomad 2-Door Station Wagon loses its old powerhouse for a much bigger and more powerful 350ci V8 crate engine. This engine is reported to produce 330hp of power whilst coupled to a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission and re-built Positraction rear end. Grip is provided by a set of Cooper Cobra radials, and stopping power is courtesy of disc brakes upfront and drum brakes at the rear. The tires were reportedly installed after the car was painted and are said to be in good shape.

For Corvette lovers, this is Genesis. The original C1 Chevrolet Corvette was introduced in 1953 and was made for an impressive (by modern standards) nine years before its replacement was unveiled in 1962. Conceived to take on the might of the British sportscar industry, the C1 Corvette was an all-American interpretation of the classic two-seater formula. In 1955, the Corvette got an updated body, which was carried through to our featured car: a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette that comes with a four-speed manual transmission and a 265ci V8 engine. This classic Corvette is ready for a new home. If you’re a lover of old-school American metal, then this could be the car you’re looking for.
This is the car that changed the iconic Corvette’s script: the Chevrolet Corvette C8. By relocating the 6.2L V8 to the middle instead of leaving it at the front, Chevrolet bred a new track monster. The C8 is a beast that costs almost half the price of its European rivals. The example we have for sale is a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette 1LT which is equipped with a Theft Deterrent System, among other choice options. The car has a mere 7,275 miles on the odometer, as it happily awaits its new owner.
The first generation Chevrolet Camaro was the genesis for the long line of models that followed. It set in motion a trend of good looks, tractable power, and all-out performance that is recognized to this day. And none did more for impressionable owners than the Camaro SS. The SS was a performance package added to the base Camaro that included larger engine options and an improved chassis to handle the extra power. It sat below the Z/28 and could be combined with the RS (Rally Sport) appearance package. The car offered for sale here is reported to have undergone a frame-off restoration, which was completed just last year. Since the work was carried out, the new engine has covered less than 2,500 miles.
