This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air has an old school, mild custom look with fantastic tasteful options. When Chevrolet released its passenger car line for 1955, complete with an entirely new design, the GM marque kicked off a period now known as the Tri-Five era. At the end of 1955 in November, the second generation, 1956 model year, Tri-Five Chevys were introduced to its dealers. Both inside and out, the new 56 Chevrolets has a brand new look. At the nose, the 1956 Chevys featured a newly redesigned full-width chrome grille that sat below a new-look hood that was flatter, longer, and sported an accentuated V treatment, which would be carried forward. The side profile of the 1956 Chevrolets also received a facelift that included a new chrome side trim featuring a painted insert and ran nearly the full length of the car at the beltline and swept down at the rear. Perhaps the most famous exterior update on the new 1956 Chevrolet was the placement of the hidden gas filler cap which, in true 50s fashion, is tucked behind the drivers side tail light. The Bel Air sat atop the Chevrolet passenger car hierarchy, above the entry-level 150 and intermediate 210 models. Since the Bel Air was the most luxurious Chevrolet someone could purchase in 1956 their interiors were the plushest, most elevated and best-optioned across the GM marques passenger car line, and some would say were comparable to most luxury cars of the day. The Bel Air also came equipped with fantastic options as standard equipment including a clock and lockable gloveboxes, both of which were considered big of luxuries back in 1956. Powering this 56 Chevy is a 265 Cubic Inch V8 engine fed by a single 4 barrel carburetor. Backing the 265 V8 is an easy to drive, powerglide automatic transmission that just about anybody can enjoy. When running, this 1956 Bel air produces a fantastic throaty sound out of the rear thanks to its stainless steel dual exhaust setup. This 56 Chevrolet is loaded with desirable options and tasteful upgrades. Power steering makes driving this Tri-Five is a joy since turning into a tight space at the local drive-in or car show is so easy. Further adding to this ease are the dual chrome outside mirrors that a welcome addition to any classic car. With power front disc brakes, bringing this gorgeous hot rod to a complete stop is a total breeze especially with all that V8 power under the hood. The original master cylinder and brake booster were also replace with a more modern booster and dual master cylinder setup which makes for a more reliable braking system. Riding on a set of Keystone Klassic wheels and raised letter radial tires, this 1956 Chevy has an old school look and a great ride cruising down the road. Further adding to the old school hot rod look is the lowered suspension like many hot rods of the day.
