1958 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop
348 Tri-Power V8 Engine

This 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop had had an unbelievable full body off restoration. The engine is an original fully rebuilt 348 V-8 Chevy with three single barrel carburetors. Transmission is an original two speed power glide. The engine compartment is unreal and looks like the day it left the show room floor.
The exterior of this hardtop is a testiment to the clean styling and early luxury car lines. The GM designers hit it on the head with the 1958 body style. It is truly the most unique style that Chevrolet ever produced and appreciated much more today than in 1958. After all it followed the 1957 Chevrolet.
