1958 Chevrolet Bel Air

Gateway Classic Cars is proud to list this clean survivor, 1958 Bel Air four door Hardtop. GM changed it up in 1958 with all the cars following the 50s styling mantra of bigger, wider and lower! For 58 Chevrolet exemplified this philosophy to the utmost. Gone was the now 'classic' Hollywood good looks of the smaller, more restrained 1957 Chevy. In its place was a much bigger, more powerful and brash car. With acres of chrome, Dual headlights and a wide chrome laden grill, Chevy was clearly aiming for Cadillac with the looks of the new 58 Chevys!

This 58 Bel Air is not only significant because of it's one-year body style, but because it sports the now famous - first of the Big Blocks - the Turbo Thrust 348ci V8. Good for 250 horsepower and 355 foot pounds of torque, this stump puller was perfect for the bigger, heavier 1958 Chevys. With a manual it made the car a force to be reckoned with on the streets and the strip and with a 2-speed power glide; the perfect lazy American cruiser - with power to spare. This car was optioned with the power glide automatic, making it a great family cruiser.

Our Bel Air is finished in what appears to be a refresh of the original color combo and has a matching newer, period correct interior. The retrofitted AC blows cold and it runs and drives like a champ. The overall driving experience is nostalgic with a touch of modernity, thanks to front disk brakes and broad powerband of that Super Thrust V8. This car can easily keep up with modern traffic, although chilling in the slow lane and enjoying the view would be just as satisfying. Another perk of this Bel Air is the 4-door hardtop option. Often two doors are preferred, but this 4dr hard top gives up very little to the 2dr in overall appearance; especially when the windows are rolled down. Stylish 'open air' motoring for everyone, whether it be the kids in the back, or a few of your best friends. Scoop up this clean, great running driver before it's too late!
