Chevrolet’s Bel Air nameplate is well known by the older generation in North America, although there are a younger lot, who weren’t even born when these automobiles were released, starting to show interest in these stylish Fifties American cruisers. The Bel Air nameplate would see production from 1950 to 1975 across seven generations. This 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 Door Hardtop hails from the third generation of production, which ran for just one year, making this car rather special and desirable. What’s even nicer is, it sports a reportedly numbers matching motor, has undergone a complete restoration, and has run just 100 miles since then.
The white paintwork on this 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 Door Hardtop is said to have been done during the restoration, and the car looks stunning, with its retro-styled five-spoke alloy wheels, chrome detailing, and all badges present and correct. Swooping lines, fins, and rear wheel spats, it’s got it all, making this Bel Air a great representation of what Fifties motoring was like. Open a door and you are greeted by a white and red interior, once again, a very Fifties color theme. The interior was reportedly redone during the restoration and certainly looks ready for another five decades or so, if carefully used. The keen eyed will notice that this 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 Door Hardtop is very well equipped for a Fifties car, sporting power windows, Vintage Air, Dakota Digital gauges, and retro-styled push-button radio integrated within the dash. Of course, many of these were added, or retrofitted during the restoration, which also saw a Painless complete wiring harness installed to ensure a reliable electrical system.
The mechanicals and running gear of this 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 Door Hardtop did not escape the keen eye to attention that the restoration brought upon. The motor is said to be the original, numbers-matching 348ci big-block V8 that was good for around 300hp when new, but given that it’s been treated to a Sandersons headers and a Flowmaster exhaust, it’s probably got a little more than that. The serpentine belt has been changed too, and an MSD upgraded distributor is in place. Power steering and four wheel disc brakes add useful enhancements to handling and braking, and drive duties are sent to the rear wheels via a TCI 350 Turbo Hydramatic automatic transmission.
