The Chevrolet Bel Air is one of the most iconic American cars ever built. It survived from 1949 to 1980, but the mid-1950s models are the most coveted. Many argue that the 1957 Bel Air is the best of the bunch, but the 1955 version is nothing to sneeze at either. It doesn t have the 57 s big fins, but you d be hard-pressed to find another car that blends stylish cues with hot-rod looks in such an appealing way. 15 photos
Luckily, Chevy built quite a few Bel Airs back in the 1950s, and many of them are still on the road. And because they re so hot-looking and popular, barn finds are usually restored. This 1955 Bel Air here is a fine example of how a classic should be brought back to life.
