Up for sale we have a 1955 Chevy Bel Air Convertible. This may be the most loved Chevy of all time. The one we have for you is not only a Bel Air but it’s also a convertible. It originated from South Texas before coming to Maryville TN. Once here Crows Auto Restoration pulled it all apart and set the body off the frame and built one of the nicest drop top 55’s in the country. It was a center fold in the Chevy Classic Magazine in April of 2009 when it was built. In the paragraphs to follow we will give a brief description of the exterior interior and heartbeat of the Chevy but first we would like to tell you a little about us.

We will start off with the exterior of the Bel Air. This is a complete frame off resto where the body was pulled down to bare metal. What little work was needed was done before the body was bolted back together to ensure a good fit of the panels. It was then broke down and painted in the base coat clear coat. Everything was then covered in the Porsche Red including the floors. It had hours of buffing and polishing before being put back together with all new seals and body bushings. The glass was cleaned checked and the bad was replaced before installation. All the stainless was either replaced or cleaned and buffed to a like new finish and all the chrome was also replaced. Also new weather stripping around the doors and trunk as well as under the hood was installed. To complement to the Red it has a new Power Top that’s covered with the Tan Canvas that has the Tan Boot to match. The final touch to complete the look is a set of 17” American Racing Wheels were put on.
