Occasionally, new car arrives at just the right moment -- and history is made. One such standout in the 100-years of Chevrolet is the 1955 Bel Air. Chevrolet had a "durable, ut dull" image in the early 1950s that cried out to be re-energized. The 1955 Chevy, specially in top-level Bel Air guise, id just that. Debuting just as rock n' roll was about to shake America to its cultural roots, he longer, ower and often two-toned 1955 Chevy exuded American optimism. A sizzling new "Turbo-Fire" V-8 -- the engine that launched Chevy's legendary small-block engine family -- was optional. Chevy ads called the '55, The Hot One," an allusion both to its V-8 performance and record-breaking sales pace.

BelAirs came with features found on cars in the lower models ranges plus interior carpet, hrome headliner bands on hardtops, hrome spears on front fenders, tainless steel window moldings, nd full wheel covers. Models were further distinguished by the Bel Air name script in gold lettering later in the year. For 1955 Chevrolet's gained a V8 engine option. The new 265 cu in V8 featured a modern, verhead valve high compression, ong stroke design that was so good that it remained in production in various forms, or many decades.
