Out of all the car models in the autoverse, the Chevy Bel Air holds a special place in enthusiasts' and collectors' hearts. Although many don't realize that the Bel Air trim spanned seven generations and more than three decades of Chevrolets, from 1950 to 1981, more often than not, the model's second generation garners the lion's share of the attention. The Tri-Five cars, as they're known, began with the 1955 model and continued on for the 1956 and 1957 model years. The 1955 Chevrolet 210 Bel Air Tribute Restomod we have for you today stands out as a unique example. With its full Light Blue and White two-tone paint, LED lights, and unmistakable chrome trim, it stands out as a hallmark of the Golden Age of automobiles.
Inside, we find a cozy, blueish-green cloth interior. A custom power-assisted wheel is mounted on a tilt column, sits ahead of a half-moon 110-mph speedometer set against an aluminum bezel. A custom three-pod auxiliary gauge cluster sits just below a Kenwood AM/FM/AUX/CD head unit that also offers satellite and Bluetooth connectivity. Air conditioning adds a nice touch, while the Bel Air logo and analog clock pay homage to the brand's history.
Under the hood, we find a chrome-dressed engine bay with a powerful 5.3-liter Vortec V-8. With its 862 heads, composite intake manifold, and FlowMaster dual exhaust, this Gen IV small-block adds a modern twist to this classic ride. That power is routed through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to the factory rear end.
