Going to try and wrap up the Tri-5 Chevy series today with a free bonus post of 1956 Bel Airs. These have a more ornate grill than the 55 but still has the same two-tone paint scheme. Looks like these are stock restorations side from #3. Probably had a white roof originally. It was so common to customize a car like this it almost is a stock restoration if you get what I mean.
I should be able to get to the 57s today so stay tuned!
I love the 55-57's. These are beautiful. You are correct about the few that remained stock. I'll bet you by the early 60's 90% had been customized or altered from stock in varying degrees.
A very fine group of beauties!!!!
Thank you very much Toyrebel. In the mid 60s they started customizing the cars as soon as they drove them off the lot. Mag wheels before they got home.
Thank you very much again Scott.
