1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible Rebuilt 283 CID V 8 Engine

The 1956 Bel Air received a face-lift with a more conventional full-width grille, pleasing those customers who didn't favor the Ferrari-inspired '55 front end. Two-tone bodyside treatments and front and rear wheel openings completed the "speedline" restyling. Single housings incorporated the taillight, stoplight and backup light, and the left one held the gas filler an idea popularized on Cadillacs.
