The Icon of Americana Motoring

1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible

VIN No. VC560079714

  • Nice restoration on a California Black Plate
  • Period-Correct Presentation, Beautiful Fit and Finish
  • Attractively Optioned - 265ci Convertible
  • Comes with two engines
  • An icon of American Automotive History

The best-equipped of the Chevrolet line, the Bel Air featured improved trim and greater amenities. To many enthusiasts, the 1956 model embodies the perfect balance between the two distinctive styles of the 1955 and 1957. The subtle changes to the Chevy's body design in 1956 gave it a fresh, new, lighter appearance. Inside, the dash retained the dual cowl look, but now the mesh matched that of the front grille with plenty of chrome around. By setting new speed records and winning races, Chevy also proved to the world that their full-size cars were not just rolling sculptures but also great performing machines!

A prized California "Black Plate" car, this desirable Bel Air Convertible comes nicely equipped with Powerglide automatic transmission, white power top, power brakes, heater, electric windshield wipers, Retorsound radio, bumper guards, continental kit, electric seats and automatic headlight dimmer.

The convertible was restored to period finish in two-tone Onyx Black and White paint with correct Charcoal Black and White vinyl. Beautifully prepared, the chrome and bright work compliment the appearance. The engine compartment is similarly detailed, housing a 265 cubic inch, 2 barrel V8, new wiring and restored auxiliaries - all of which appear as new. The current motor fitted is a 1956 truck block, and it should be noted that the original 265 block accompanies the car (mounted in crate). Mechanically the car is overall in very good condition; all of the lights, switches, gauges, and horn are in good working order. We do want to note a small leak which looks like it’s coming from the transmission drain plug, other than this flaw the undercarriage presents nicely, dry and very original.  

*BUY ME!!!

A beautiful example, well-optioned and ready for cruising, this 1956 Bel Air makes an easy driver for any enthusiast to enjoy, while capable of delighting the most discerning collector.

*MAKE AN OFFER!!!

New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]

Tue, Dec 2 2014

The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios. "Forza Horizon 2" NAPA® Chassis Car Pack Now Available The roads and countryside of "Forza Horizon 2" beg for you to leave your mark on them. The NAPA® Chassis Car Pack for "Forza Horizon 2" on Xbox One has arrived, bringing five amazing new cars to blaze trails, break records, or just enjoy a casual cruise in. First off, the new McLaren 650S Coupe's uncanny acceleration and preposterous top speed will satisfy the elitist in you. If you want get away from it all, there's no better way than in the Supercharged Land Rover. Need muscle? Take the classic form of the Buick GSX or the later model Monte Carlo SS for a spin. We all need more wagon in our lives and the Audi RS6 is ready to run around town or serve up surprises at the track. The NAPA® Chassis Car Pack for "Forza Horizon 2" on Xbox One is available today for $5 in the Xbox Live store. Starting today, also available this month for free for all Xbox One players is the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
