Redolent of the Rock 'n' Roll era, the 1955-57 Chevrolet Bel Airs are amongst the most revered of all American machines. Along with a soundly engineered chassis, the 1955-1957 Chevrolets also offered an abundance of style, the basic shape both well proportioned and beautifully detailed. Three basic lines were made available, ranging from the base One-Fifty, to the mid-series Two-Ten and the upmarket Bel Air, with plusher interior trim and distinctive exterior brightwork. They were available with a wide range of six and eight-cylinder engines in a variety of tunes. In today's market they are bona-fide classics and have always been admired by enthusiasts and the general public for their wonderful sense of era.
