Produced from 1955 to 1957, the second-generation Chevrolet Bel Air is one of the most iconic 1950s designs. Part of the Tri-Five Chevy lineup, which also included the 150, 210, and Nomad, the Bel Air is now a full-fledged collectible that draws a lot of attention at auction events. Chevrolet built almost five million Tri-Five cars in three years, so they re not exactly rare, but well-maintained Bel Airs at relatively decent prices are hard to come by. This 1957 example is one of them. 11 photos
Located in Fenton, Missouri, this two-door coupe is in almost pristine condition. I say pristine because even though it was professionally restored, it happened some 30 years ago and it s showing a few rust spots on the body. However, it spent most of its post-restoration days as a garage queen and it needs just a few touch ups to become a concours-winner Bel Air.

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.
