This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible is an exceptionally well-presented example of one of Chevrolet’s most recognizable designs of the 1950s. Finished in its factory-correct Sierra Gold and Adobe Beige two-tone color combination over a coordinating Copper and Tan interior, the car retains the unmistakable styling and upscale presentation that made the Bel Air Convertible one of Chevrolet’s premier offerings for 1956.
The Fisher Body tag identifies the car as Style 56-1067DTX and carries Paint Code 700 and Trim Code 621, corresponding with the Sierra Gold and Adobe Beige exterior and Copper and Tan interior seen today. The restoration carries the color combination throughout the car, including the beautifully finished dashboard, door panels and two-tone seating surfaces. Brightwork, trim and factory-style details complement the exterior, while wide whitewall tires and Chevrolet wheel covers complete the period-correct appearance.
Power comes from a 265ci Chevrolet V8 backed by a Powerglide automatic transmission. The engine carries stamping 0633460 F56FB, with the FB suffix identifying a 1956 265 V8 Power Pack application paired with Powerglide. The engine compartment is highly detailed and maintains a largely stock appearance with Chevrolet-script valve covers, generator, factory-style air cleaner and other period-correct components.
For improved drivability, the engine is currently equipped with an Edelbrock AVS2 four-barrel carburetor with electric choke. Importantly, the original carburetor accompanies the car, allowing the next owner to retain or return the induction system to its previous configuration.
Additional equipment includes power steering, power brakes and a power-operated convertible top. Inside, the Bel Air features its signature bright dash trim, factory-style steering wheel and instrumentation, and even the interior clock remains operational.
Beautifully restored, exceptionally clean and presented in its factory-correct color combination, this 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible combines desirable V8 power, Powerglide convenience and classic open-air Tri-Five Chevrolet styling in a highly attractive package.
