Highlights for the model year include the first year for a 12V electrical system and the timeless &#8220;eyebrows&#8221; over the front headlights. Designers extended the front fenders just over the headlights giving the remodeled Bel Airs what appears to be a raised eyebrow when viewed from the front.<\/p>\n<p>Features in films such as &#8220;Two-Lane Blacktop&#8221; and &#8220;American Graffiti&#8221; increased the mystique surrounding the 55 Bel Air ten-fold.

Its sleek accents and generous use of chrome captured the attention of customizers just as the lightweight and easy acceptance of late model big blocks drew drag racers to the 55. Attend any car show, cruise night, or drag strip and it&#8217;s a safe bet a &#8217;55 will be in attendance. So what makes Al Lindgren&#8217;s so unique? What makes it different from other meticulous, frame-off restored &#8217;55&#8217;s? How about the fact that it&#8217;s not! Not restored, nope, this one&#8217;s an all original, unrestored specimen, with only\u00a018,800 original\u00a0miles.

With the exception of a few mediocre pics, Al bought the car sight unseen in 2007. A broker clued him into a pristine, very low mile, Bel Air in West Virginia but the story sounded too good to be true. But the thought of missing out on a true gem outweighed the risk, so he rolled the dice and a few days later the coupe arrived on the back of a trailer. Pay dirt &#8211; the rumors were true and the Bel Air was in better condition than Al could have hope for.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/1955-chevy-bel-air-pictures-5.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[17359]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17435\" style=\"margin: 4px; border: black 2px solid;\" title=\"1955 Chevy Bel Air Grille\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/1955-chevy-bel-air-pictures-5.jpg\" border=\"2\" alt=\"1955 chevy belair, 55 chevy bel aire, bel air car\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" width=\"575\" height=\"390\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately shortly after Al acquired the Bel Air, he would fall somewhat victim to the economic downturn that has swept our country the past few years.

How do you decide? It&#8217;s like picking your favorite amongst your children.<\/p>\n<p>So the decision boiled down to which was the least rare, and before feeling too sorry for Al keep in mind &#8211; when your least rare car is an original &#8217;55 Bel Air, well life cant be too bad. Luckily\u00a0his\u00a0friend and neighbor,\u00a0Ron,\u00a0expressed interest in the &#8217;55 so while still reluctant to let it go at least it wasn&#8217;t going too far.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Doris Mayday Poses With 1955 Bel Air\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/1955-chevy-bel-air-pictures-7.jpg\" border=\"2\" alt=\"55 chevy bel aire, bel air car, bel air classics\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" width=\"575\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While in it&#8217;s new owners possession, a chance occurrence of exposure to the rain led to an interesting find that would reveal some clues to the elusive history of the &#8217;55.

Mae\u00a0 purchased the car new, late in life, from long time defuncted Brandenburg Motor Sales in Washington Court House, Ohio. And although unknowingly at the time, her short trips and meticulous care (the car was covered with sheets while parked in the garage) would lend to one of the best preserved, unrestored cars (not just Bel Airs) around from the fabled &#8217;50s.

It&#8217;s use in the original Corvette had already made the Blue Flame a legend. 1955 also introduced the legendary Chevy small block V8 in the form of the 265. Although when equipped with the 265 the &#8217;55 Bel Airs are more attractive to collectors, it would be an amazing feat to find an unrestored Bel Air with a 265 in the condition of Al&#8217;s. Coincidentally, Al happens to own a 265 V8 from a &#8217;55 Del Ray he drove in high school, but he has no intentions of alerting the original condition of the car.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/1955-chevy-bel-air-pictures-6.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[17359]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17439\" style=\"margin: 4px; border: black 2px solid;\" title=\"1955 Chevy Bel Air Interior\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/1955-chevy-bel-air-pictures-6.jpg\" border=\"2\" alt=\"1955 chevy belair, 1955 bel air, 55 chevy bel aire, bel air car\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" width=\"575\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Interior trim in the Bel Airs serve as a reminder of American style and grace at a time when American superiority in car manufacturing was unquestioned and unchallenged.
