This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door hardtop is finished in white and turquoise over a turquoise and beige interior, and it is powered by a 265ci V8 that is topped with a Carter four-barrel carburetor and paired with a two-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the split-folding front bench and rear seat have been re-trimmed in turquoise vinyl with cloth inserts and are accompanied by an AM radio and an under-dash tissue dispenser. The exterior features stainless trim, dual side mirrors, and a fuel filler concealed above the left taillight, and the 14″ wheels wear chrome covers and are wrapped in Firestone whitewall tires. This Bel Air hardtop was purchased by the seller in 1999 and is now offered with a New Hampshire title in the seller’s name.

The body left the factory finished in India Ivory and Twilight Turquoise, and it features chrome bumpers and stainless trim as well as dual side mirrors and a fuel filler concealed above the left taillight.
