If you are in the market for a classic but want something that is just as much of an investment as a fun toy then you can't go wrong with the tri-five Chevrolets. These cars are very popular and as time goes on just become more rare and more valuable. In this economy you need good investments and a classic car like this will hold its value for many many years to come. What else can you buy in today's age where you can actually get your money back or make money after enjoying it for years? This classic 1956 Chevrolet Belair is in very good condition and is the car you want to have if you are looking for a top of the line Chevrolet. Not only is it a Belair but a hardtop making it just that much more valuable. The current owner purchased the vehicle in 2013. Both them and the prior owner lived in Texas. It was originally restored in 1998 and has been very well maintained since. It is stored indoors under a car cover and the owner regularly drives it at least 100 miles a month to exercise it. The body is very sold and is coated in that classic two tone Red and White. The paint is laid down nicely and looks good. The front and rear bumpers have a great shine with no chipping of the chrome. All of the correct stainless trim is cleanly mounted in place and in good condition. The car also comes with fender skirts which create a great side profile look that you just can't beat. All of the emblems are there as are that classic 56 hood ornament. The glass on the car is damage free except for the driver's side door window which has a vertical crack. The exterior electrical works well and with no problems. This classic has a great looking stance and rides around on a set of original style wheels with hubcaps and cool wide white wall tires.

Powering this classic down the road is the original style 263 V8 that has been gone through to insure it runs nice and smooth. The block, heads, and manifolds are all painted a nice dark red to create a very clean appearance and match the car. The valve covers are also Red and are topped with "Chevrolet" lettering in silver. The vintage air cleaner is coated Black and is even topped with the original style decal. The wiring and hoses are all nicely routed throughout the engine compartment which has been coated Black. The car always runs nice and cool with an added electric push fan in place. A 3 speed manual transmission is in place and utilizes the very fun to drive "3 on the tree" style shifter. The car recently received a new gas tank, sending unit, fill neck ring gasket and the radiator has been rebuilt with a new electric fan.

The interior of the car is done in the vintage style with a two tone Red and off White cloth and vinyl. Matching red seat belts are in place and the bench seats are very comfortable. The headliner and carpeting is in just as nice condition and shows virtually zero wear and tear. The dash of the car is all original with the correct style radio, knobs, gauges, and switches. To avoid cutting up the dash a custom AM/FM/CD player has been mounted in the glove box. The original style steering wheel looks great in place with a polished horn button.

The trunk of the car on this classic is just as nicely done being painted in White and topped with a nice rubberized mat. It houses a spare wheel and allows plenty of storage space. It comes with a lot of neat extras like a copy of the original sales contract dated March 12, 1969, the owners manual, an original 1956 Chevy paint chart, receipts, maintenance records and more!
