The 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-Door Two-Tone like the Red/Ivory one we have here is a full restoration that needs to be seen. Distinctive two-tone bodyside treatments and graceful front and rear wheel openings complete the “speedline” restyling of this car. Plus we just put on new tires and a new carb.

Mechanical
What made these Tri-Fives a legend is the brand new in 55 and 56 Chevy small block V8. Ours has what looks like the original 265 cubic-inch V8 with the factory black painted air cleaner, orange painted block, heads, valve covers, and intake, but with the addition of power steering and brakes, and a large aftermarket radiator to help keep things running cool.
You will have that classic feeling when driving with the column-shifted automatic transmission.
The Bel Air sits and rides on great whitewall tires with factory style steel wheels and factory hub caps.
Interior
When you open the doors you will find a red and ivory bench seat in the front with a matching rear seat and door panels, red colored dash with an assortment of all the factory gauges, great dash trim, red steering wheel and carpets, and the column mounted shifter.
Exterior
Our 56 has a great combination of red and Ivory paint that certainly looks as stock. The curves of our Bel Air really lend themselves to the paint and it looks great with great chrome and glass as you can see in the pictures.
The body lines are great and include the styling cues that make this Tri-Five look so good. Single housings incorporated the taillight, stoplight, and backup light, and the left one held the gas filler to really ad to this 56’s aesthetics.
