Description

Beautiful Shoreline Beige and Gypsy Red 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible with Light Ivory, Red interior and a Beige soft top. This stunning Bel Air convertible was a solid southern car; it was repainted in its very desirable original two tone colors. This has been trimmed with a good mix of new chrome and stainless. It has a well preserved original trim with lots of extras like the rear chrome continental kit, complete chrome front bumper with guards, rear painted skirts, stainless fingernail guards and a stainless fuel door guard. The paint has a bright shine and covers a rock solid southern body with good gaps and lines. This Bel Air convertible came from a large private collection in Miami, where it lived a pampered life in a climate controlled environment, was driven sparingly, and enjoyed with great care. The engine bay is highly detailed and showcases the code correct 265/205 4 bbl. engine with Powerglide automatic transmission. Upgrades were made to make the driving experience more enjoyable like power rack and pinion steering and aluminum radiator for increased cooling. The Red and Light Ivory was all new at the time of the restoration and looks amazing. The dash, gauges and original steering wheel all have the iconic look and feel that made this tri-five one of the most popular cars of all time. The trunk is correctly painted and complete with mat and jack. This American Dream Machine is rolling on new wide whites and Bel Air chrome hubcaps for timeless good looks.

Collector Car Lending

Classic Car Financing

If you can dream it... you can drive it!

Why Paying Cash for a Classic Car may not be the best Choice

Most buyers today have no idea what types of financing options are available to them. Every "cash buyer" can benefit from using financing to purchase a better quality restoration providing them with a car that will be easier to sell, and worth more money. With collector cars appreciating at an average of more than 9% a year, it is easy to see how financing can become a tool to help you purchase a better quality vehicle and earn a higher return on your investment. Buyers enjoy an easy program that has no proof of income requirements, and no prepayment penalties. You can let our money work for you. With rates as low as .00% and an average appreciation of 9.00% a year it doesn't always make sense to pay with cash.
