Call. text or email Dixie Dream Cars today to own this beautifully restored 1956 Bel Air Hard Top Coupe 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop Coupe Classic Styling. High Performance. Modern Comfort . Sounds like a Winning Combination to me! This iconic 1956 Classic Chevy Coupe is a balance between the simple styling of the 1955 and the more flamboyant styling of the 1957 Bel Air. Compared to other models built during the same period. she is lighter and more attractive. Considered a convertible with a fixed top. the very appealing Hardtop Bel Air is sought after by collectors and car enthusiasts worldwide due to its style and rarity. This year model Bel Air easily out-styles her competition with her full-width grille extending to include her side lights. an artistically designed chrome front bumper. and attractively hooded headlights. Tastefully restrained tailfins. boldly curved front and rear fenders. a cleverly hidden gas cap behind the left taillight. noticeably large rectangular parking lights. classic Bel Air script. and sweeping side trim that follows a color spear. which carries forward to the headlight and mimics the roof and trunk color completes the Elegantly Distinct Style of the '56 Bel Air. Good Looks isn't all she has going for her. The Bel Air's small-block V-8 made them lighter with a Splendid Power-to-Weight ratio. Speaking of Power . this Beauty has been Upgraded with a "Double Hump" High- Performance. 327c. i. "Turbo-Fire" 300+ hp engine (used in 60's "Fuelie" Corvettes) mated to a Three-speed Automatic transmission. She has an independent front suspension with a 2" drop spindle and a live rear axle. All of this provides this Classic Chevy with increased top-end speed and improved handling and braking. A Chevrolet ad proclaimed that 'Chevy puts the purr in performance'. This Bel Air. with her small block V-8 equipped with an Edelbrock Intake manifold and a Edelbrock four barrel carburetor. certainly delivers on their promise. delivering a hearty purr from her dual exhausts. She has been through a complete restoration with many modern upgrades. She is Externally finished in a Professional Quality two-tone Matador Red and India White paint scheme with beautiful highly-polished chrome accents throughout. Finished off with a matching hardtop. this lovely '56 proudly represents her model year. Her Distinctive two-tone body side treatments impart a look of motion with graceful front and rear wheel openings which complete the graceful styling. Her interior is finished in a Creamy Custom Leather with Comfortable. Custom Power Front Seats and a Custom Center Console. Her Stunning Dash with its New Modern Radio. New Billet Gauge Bezel with Quad Gauge Cluster (Fuel. Oil. Temperature. Voltmeter) is complete with the signature 1956-model round. analog clock in the passenger-side dash. Her one-piece curved windshield adds superb visibility and the 115-inch wheelbase provides plenty of interior room. Roomy. Comfortable. Fuel-efficient. and Eye-Catching with tastefully restrained use of Tail Fins and Chrome . You can just hear Dinah Shore singing 'See the USA in your Chevrolet!' Engine: Double hump 327 ci High Performance "Turbo-Fire" 300+ hp engine The "lure" of the double-hump heads has been their performance potential and nostalgia. "Double-hump" heads were found on many of GM's high-performance engines in the 1960s and early 1970s. They were manufactured with larger intake and exhaust port volumes and valves for the period. and engines equipped with them had output ratings of more than 300 horsepower. Double-hump heads were popular performance upgrades for engines that were not equipped with them and are in high demand today in racing applications where factory heads are required. These castings are also becoming more difficult to find for collector and car enthusiasts. Rear-axle Ratios The rear-axle ratio in this 1956 Chevy is the 2. 92:1. With her rear-axle configured to a 327 V-8 and a 3-Speed Transmission you get great highway cruising speed at low rpm's which equals pretty impressive fuel efficiency. This Bel Air was built for Cruising! Exhaust: Her dual exhaust originates from Stainless Steel chrome mid-length headers located on the side of her cylinder heads. The mid-length design offers more ground clearance over full length headers. Featuring extremely heavy duty 1/4" flanges ~ you'll feel the air flow difference! Adds horsepower and improves gas mileage. FEATURES AND MODIFICATIONS: Freshly Restored.
