The ’55’s took the market by storm with a powerful combination of gorgeous styling, superior engineering, and competitive pricing. Said engineering included the birth of the most successful automotive engine ever produced, the venerable Chevy small block V8. Production totals for the various iterations of this engine now exceed 100 MILLION units! This stunning 1955 Onyx Black (585) Bel Air Sport Coupe (1037D) is an excellent example of these historically important machines. Lift the deeply sculpted hood and you’ll find what appears to be the original (EC F, BCN 3703524) 265 V8, the progenitor of all Chevrolet small blocks. Additional features include automatic transmission, oil filter assembly (no provisions for the filter are cast in this early block), dual exhaust, grille guard, bumper guards, rocker mouldings, fender skirts, and 205/75R15 wide whitewall tires surrounding beautiful wire wheels. The Onyx Black paint, red and beige upholstery, and tasteful chrome trim combine to form an immediate impression of stylish beauty seasoned with just a touch of menace. This is a beautiful example of America’s auto industry at its zenith. One more killer Tri-Five Chevy from the team that can make your dream a reality.
