The Appeal

The 2nd generation of Chevrolet's ever-impressive Bel Air was dubbed the 'Hot One' when it left the Flint plant in 1955. Those elaborate styling details, the swathes of chrome and the distinctly muscular powerplants under the bonnet certainly justified the title. What's not often recognised, though, is the sheer amount of body styles they came in. 

We love a good station wagon - so when you get the best of the estate car and pure American muscle mixed into a bright aquamarine package, it's little wonder that we get excited. 
 
Another benefit of this rare station wagon is that in January 2024 the interior has been completely re-upholstered in the original colour scheme and the bumpers are re-chromed.
This Chevrolet was originally delivered new in the USA and now comes with  Colombian registration and European import documentation, this bright aquamarine example carries the well-reputed 3.9L 'Blue Flame' I6, and is ready and waiting for its new owner.
