1956 Chevrolet Bel Air150210 1211b Model on 2040-cars
Hillsdale, New Jersey, United States

You are looking at a very rare 1956 Business Coupe. This model has the lowest production numbers of any 1956
Chevrolet. (Right next to the Nomad) There are very few of these business coupes still in existence today. The 150
was mainly conceived as a fleet model sold from 1953 to 1957 and little effort was spent marketing it to the
average buyer. It was most popular with police, state governments, small businesses, economy-minded consumers and
hot rodders. Chevrolet sold substantially less one-fifties than two-tens or Bel Airs in every year of its life.
In 1956, Chevrolet's mildly disguised race package was more commonly referred to as the "Business Coupe". These
Vehicles were the plain vanilla versions of the "police package" cars and were available only in the 2 door post
body style. They featured a sparse option list, had rubber floor mats in place of carpeting, fixed rear windows,
and an item known as a package tray which consisted of a 3/8 inch fiberboard where the back seat was originally
intended to be.
This beautiful, understated, fully restored and painted in its original color (Indian Ivory) rare Chevy Business
Coupe is running with a 355 Chevy engine (350 bored 30 over) with a mild thumper cam and puts out approximately 300
HP. The transmission is a turbo 350 with a shift kit. The rear original to the car we are approximating to be a
3:23. AT 60 MPH the car is taching at 2000 RPM. This rare beauty can be driven anywhere in comfort and handles as
well as it looks. Only 4600 miles has been put on this classic since the restoration.
Additional features of this 1956 Chevy include: A new interior restored to as original as was practical, power
steering, power disc brakes (front), brushed aluminum tilt steering column, a sun tach, auto meter fully mechanical
gauges, tinted windows, a rear seat, perfect chrome, cragar SST's with Kelly 205/65R15 92T on the front and
255/70R15 108S on the rear. She has aluminized exhaust, flow masters with welded chrome tips, an Edlebrock
carburetor, and Edlebrock polished manifold, a chrome alternator and bracket kit, an aluminum radiator with an
aluminum overflow. A transmission cooler, and a new power steering pump. The "old school stance" was accomplished
by using A/C springs in the front and 5 leaf springs in the rear. Seat belts front and rear were also installed.
This rare Chevy is a truly beautiful example of automotive history and is sure to appreciate in value while she is
being enjoyed. Lovingly owned and maintained. She is in need of nothing but a new owner to continue to pamper her.
Having spent almost 90% of her life in Alabama, this is a rust free car.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
