Street Spot: Rainy Day Bel Air
A regular feature here on Nostalgia Highway is the “Street Spot.” We love seeing vintage cars as daily drivers, out on the streets where they belong. When we see a vintage car worth sharing, we’ll post it as a Street Spot. Sometimes it will be a beauty, sometimes it will be a beater, but then again – even the beater cars are beautiful to us!
I do love somebody that drives a cool classic on a rainy day and this Bel Air is one cool classic.

1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Custom
Why This Car Is Special
The 1955 Chevrolet (sometimes referred to as '55 Chevy) is an automobile that was made by Chevrolet in 1955. It is considered a huge turning point for the manufacturer and was a major success.
Fast forward to now and you will see this 1955 Chevrolet 150 Resto-Mod we have at Skyway Classics has a semi-truck load of performance and comfort items added to its gleaming orange and tan exterior.

Mechanical
You will appreciate the 355 cubic inch modified Chevy small-block V-8 residing under the smoothed hood. A showpiece all on its own, it incorporates a polished aluminum intake, performance carb with the electric choke, chrome open element air cleaner assembly, aluminum finned valve covers with red script Chevrolet on them, performance fuel plumbing, modified electronics and distributor, a serpentine belt drive system with billet aluminum pulleys to drive its power steering, power brakes, alternator and Vintage Air accessory drives, and tube headers feeding 3-inch dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers to deliver the kind of throaty rumble guaranteed to attract attention.
A 700 R4 automatic transmission with overdrive and four-wheel disc brakes add even more to the 150's performance capabilities with the engine and frame both painted and detailed.
Interior
The tan custom interior has had its once-minimalist accommodations traded for a handsome bucket seat like but bench-seat interior featuring a matching rear seat and door panels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, custom center console with the chrome shifter and orange shifter ball, billet aluminum dash with VDO gauges, in-dash CD player, Vintage Air with electronic climate control, seatbelts, and tan carpet and floor mats.
It even has a finished trunk with custom fitted partitions, carpet, and a Bow Tie logo across the back of the cargo area.
Exterior
Our 1955 Chevrolet 150 Sedan is a particularly fine example of craftmanship that has went into this show car.
The first thing you will notice is the paint scheme. Tastefully sprayed in Hugger Orange and Tan with carefully considered details such as full side windows in place of the original vented pieces, one-piece front and rear bumpers contribute to setting the car apart from the pack, and new staggered-diameter Ridler alloy wheels and performance rubber give it just the right stance.
Conclusion
This 1955 Chevy show car we have at Skyway Classics was built by Custom Classics that is a nationally renowned restoration facility for customizing show-winning cars of almost any make and model, from American iron to foreign exotics and vintage rarities.

Street Spot: 1955 Chevy in the Rain
A regular feature here on Nostalgia Highway is the “Street Spot.” We love seeing vintage cars as daily drivers, out on the streets where they belong. When we see a vintage car worth sharing, we’ll post it as a Street Spot. Sometimes it will be a beauty, sometimes it will be a beater, but then again – even the beater cars are beautiful to us!
Even on rainy days, you spot cool old classics on the road in SoCal. Recently I spotted this good-looking ‘55 Chevy rolling down the road on a rainy day.

Chevrolet Bel Air Fuelie
Since introducing the legendary 1955 Bel Air V8 model, Chevy has upgraded and created faster many cars. In 1957, Chevy presented the most advanced engine option of all American car manufacturers at the time – fuel injection.
Tumblr media
As a performance package for the Bel Air, the “Fuelie” consisted of a special fuel injection induction system that replaced carburetors. The 283 V8 engine had up to 270 HP with standard dual quads but 283 HP with fuel injection. Despite that slight difference in output, the fuel injection option delivered power better and was more efficient than the standard intake.
