1955 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 Description

This 1955 Chevy started out as a 4 door station wagon. At some point in the 60's or 70's it was shortened to remove the rear two doors. The car was gone over in 2012-2013 with many new parts. The car is not perfect and not a "show" car by any means. It is more of a running/driving project hot rod/rat rod. The 383 engine runs strong. I have had my fun, now it is your turn!
