1955 Custom Chevrolet Bel Air

I’ve talked about the Chevy Bel Air before, and how it exemplifies Americana in car form. This superb restomod takes that and throws another layer of classic American motoring into the mix: the hot rod. The only hint of the power lurking beneath the skin of this crimson and champagne coated monster is the promising peak of engine that pokes through the hood.

What an engine it is. A 502ci big block has been fitted, with a 14-71 blower accompanying it in its symphony of speed. A four-speed automatic transmission is mated to the engine, with the transmission in turn linked to a GM 10-bolt. If the sound of the engine isn’t enough for you, the car also features a six speaker sound system.

The car’s also been tubbed out, with 33×19.5″ tires sitting on Weld racing wheels. This beauty may not look like it at first glance, but it is a true-blue hot rod, through and through.
