ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, NICELY RESTORED, 1956 CHEVROLET BEL AIR LOADED WITH OPTIONS INCLUDING AIR CONDITIONING AND POWER WINDOWS....GREAT STANCE, READY TO SHOW AND GO!!
HAVE YOU BEEN SEARCHING FOR A REALLY SWEET TRI-FIVE CHEVY AND LOVE THE '56 BEL AIR? DO YOU WANT ONE THAT HAS BEEN NICELY RESTORED AND WAS CLEARLY A SOUTHERN CAR WITHOUT ANY OF THE TYPICAL RUST ISSUES? ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ONE THAT HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY RESTO-MODDED WITH A GREAT STANCE? DO YOU PLAN ON DRIVING IT AND ENJOYING IT AND WANT IT TO BE A GREAT CRUISER WITH SOME MODERN COMFORT FEATURES LIKE VINTAGE AIR CONDITIONING, AND POWER DISC BRAKES? IF YOU HAVE BEEN SHAKING YOUR HEAD YES THEN GET COMFORTABLE BECAUSE THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!! This Tropical Turquoise and India Ivory '56 Bel Air was owned by a great car guy in Texas for the past 6 years. He purchased it from another car enthusiast in Tennessee who believed this Tri-Five Chevy had spent most, if not all of its live in the Tennessee area. The last restoration was done about 10 years ago on a rust free body. The gentleman we bought it from had owned several 55-57 Bel Airs over the years in addition to many classic cars and he emphasized how thrilled he was when this one arrived at his home off the Enclosed trailer 6 years ago. I can understand why as I had the same feeling when it arrived to us here in the Atlanta, GA area. In fact I drove it home the day it arrived and drove it most of the afternoon getting thumbs up everywhere I went. Absolutely beautiful paint and body and nicely restored everywhere else as well. This is a fantastic '56 Bel Air for the person who wants one that will win its share of trophies at the local shows and cruise ins but is also set up to drive and enjoy with some great modern comfort features. The previous owner was down-sizing from his hime with a large garage and lots of property to a townhouse with a 2 car garage. He decided it was time to pass this sweet '56 to the next lucky owner...Maybe you?? I will do my best to provide enough large images, a couple of videos so you can hear it running, and an honest description to help you decide if this Bel Air should be in your garage before the next car guy or gal scoops it up. Restored about 10 years ago the paint and body on this Bel Air still look fantastic. Body panels are extremely straight and overall body panel fit is also excellent. Doors open and shut with ease. The period correct color combination is what I believe to be Tropical Turquoise and India Ivory. Paint quality is excellent. Chrome trim, bumpers, emblems etc all look fantastic. This Bel Air was built to be driven and has been to the tune of about 10,750 miles since the restoration. Although nothing stood out to me, lets assume there are a couple of really tiny rock chips somewhere along the body. I also noticed a very small blem under the paint between the trunk and the rear window. Overall the glass looks excellent however I did notice a minor chip at the top of both the drivers and passengers front windows. These windows are probably original. One cool feature of these '56's is the hideaway gas cap located inside the drivers side rear taillight. Great stance thanks to the drop spindles up front and lowering blocks in the rear as well as the 17" Torque Thrust wheels. Overall the body and paint look fantastic and will definitely turn heads and win trophies at the local shows. Here is a walk around photo tour: Complimenting the 2-tone Turquoise and Ivory exterior is an equally stunning 2-tone green interior accented in silver. The interior really combines some great originality with some awesome modern updates and comfort features. The original front and rear seats were recovered in original style covers and look amazing. as The door panels and carpeting also appears to have been replaced with original style. The headliner looks like it could be original and has some discoloration but overall looks great for the age. Power windows function nicely although the passenger side front window only goes up with the switch on the passenger door but we will try to correct that before the car leaves us. Beautiful set of Dakota Digital gauges were installed when the car was restored and the mileage reads just under 10,750 miles which is the actual mileage since restoration. A digital clock was installed on the passenger side of the dash as well. All of the gauges and lights appear to be functioning accurately. For your comfort inside the cabin, Vintage air conditioning and heat were neatly installed and work great. Tilt Steering column with a nice billet Specialties steering wheel were installed as well. Nice sounding stereo was installed without cutting the dash and speakers were added in the front kick panels and rear deck. As you will see in the pictures below the interior looks just as sweet as the exterior and is show ready!! This '56 Bel Air is a sweet cruiser thanks to the completely rebuilt, period correct 283 V8 that has just under 10,750 miles on it since the restoration. The motor is very stock and was built to cruise and not race stop light to stop light. She still has plenty of power but at the same time is ready for todays highway speeds and can be driven any distance without worry. Handling is a breeze thanks to the power steering. Stopping is just as easy thanks to the upgraded Power Front disc brakes. The turbo 350 Automatic transmission was also rebuilt at the time of restoration and shifts out nicely. Suspension was redone and the car was lowered with drop spindles and lowering springs up front and lowering blocks in the rear. Heavy duty front and rear sway bars also help this baby handle the road with ease. This Bel Air glides along the road and looks great doing it. A great looking set of 17" American Racing Torque Thrust wheels help to set this Hot rod off. Tires have tons of tread life left. Under the hood you will see it has been nicely detailed and a expensive and beautiful polished serpentine belt system was added. This Bel Air runs nice and cool thanks to the upgraded Aluminum radiator and dual electric fans. Ceramic coated headers breather out throughout the dual exhaust for a nice soft rumble. Floorpans and undercarriage are rock solid and rust free. Inside of the trunk is also in fantastic condition. Make sure you listen to the video that follows to hear it start up and running.

Sunday Drive: Taking a gaze into the automotive crystal ball
Sun, Oct 22 2017Mankind has long been fascinated by the future. So it makes sense that this past week's top stories were all about cars, trucks, and SUVs that won't be hitting the market until the 2019 model year. And right at the top of the list is the Ram 1500. We've come to know Ram as the truck maker that styles its pickups with cues cribbed from big rigs, but that look has slowly evolved over time into something uniquely its own. The next Ram 1500 continues this trend, with a newly refined look that we can't wait to see in person. Up next is the 2019 Chevy Silverado. Pickup trucks have been, continue to be, and will remain the best-selling vehicles in America. And General Motors is a leader in the field, with two distinct offerings with which to entice buyers, one from the bread-and-butter Chevrolet brand and one wearing the slightly more upscale GMC badge. The Chevy looks to get LED lighting elements for 2019, which ought to keep the truck from looking dated when compared to the Ford F-150 and the previously mentioned Ram 1500. From there we move past pickup trucks and into SUVs and sedans. The 2019 Jeep Cherokee looks to get toned down a bit with its next refresh, and the '19 BMW 3 Series continues its slow evolutionary journey at the top of its aspirational sales pedestal. Finally, spy shots give way to official production reveals for the 2019 Audi A7 and Polestar 1. This pair of European luxury cars won't compete with one another – one is a rakish hatchback and the other a sports coupe – any further than for the eyeballs of our readers, but both proved popular enough to merit inclusion in our weekly roundup. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2019 Ram 1500 spotted without the classic crosshairs 2019 Chevy Silverado spied with new LED accents 2019 Jeep Cherokee reveals a much more normal face 2019 BMW 3 Series spy shots reveal production lights, new interior details 2019 Audi A7 revealed: More torque, refined styling Polestar 1 First Look | The 600 horsepower hybrid Scandinavian Green Audi BMW Chevrolet Jeep RAM Volvo Truck Hatchback SUV Future Vehicles Hybrid Luxury Performance Sedan sunday drive polestar 1
'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
