1955 Chevrolet Bel Air - A Barn Find From Florida

Nick Spino of Torrington, CT put some skills he acquired during his college days to restore a numbers-matching 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. He kept its original six-cylinder engine and retained the Cashmere blue and India Ivory paint scheme. He even drove it by a service station where he once worked for RIDE-CT.

55’ is my favourite, what a gorgeous car!

[@ride-ct-classiccars]

And the owner takes good care of it.

My dad had a 1955 chevy when i was a infant. Turquoise and white.

[@dennisheadley4408]

When I was a little boy, we had a 55 exactly like that one. Light blue and white 2 dr. It had a 265 V8 4 barrel and three speed on the column. It was snappy for that time.

Said it before, but my parents had a '56 station wagon and '56 business coupe. Learned to drive a three-speed manual on both.

Wow beautiful car…

[@ride-ct-classiccars]

His love for it shows!

I was expecting the narrator to say ‘Motortrend Car of the Year’

[@ride-ct-classiccars]

I never know what's going to come out of my mouth. Actually, I write a script first, and still screw up occasionally.

Beautiful ❤

[@ride-ct-classiccars]

And runs well, too.

Terrific 1955 Chevy ! My Father had a 1956 Chevy 2 door Nomad wagon with the same color scheme as yours. Seeing yours reminds me of when I would ride around in it with my Mom as she ran errands for Dad's Service Station business. It was eventually parked with a bad transmission and ultimately went to the junkyard. How I wish we had saved that car as well as his 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible. Both would bring good money today if restored.

[@ride-ct-classiccars]

Not only that but they'd be fun to drive... My parents had two 1956 Chevies - a green and white station wagon and a black business coupe that lacked a back seat.

[@Camska427]

have 57 with the original 235 still going strong. needs little body work and some paint, other wise very original.

[@ride-ct-classiccars]

Hate to use the cliché, but it's only original once.

[@margaretyates1307]

Is this for sale

[@gerrybaker1422]

Just needs to be lowered and a LS swap lol

[@ride-ct-classiccars]

It's nice just the way it is, but I hear what you're saying.

[@marcmenton8063]

Would you like to sell?

[@ride-ct-classiccars]

Good luck getting Nick to ever part with it.
