"Complete and nice car in good used condition with older repaint renovation. There are some small blisters on the bodywork. Nice original interior."

Description

Chevrolet Bel Air 1958, produced in only one year with this body. Here is an unusually well-kept copy, in fine used condition. The car is being sold on behalf of a car collector in Torsby, who has decided that he has too many cars. The car was bought in the USA last year and is now registered and ready to drive in Sweden. Nice body, without significant remarks and in a nice colour combination with copper metallic and beige two-tone paint, with an older repaint that has held up well. The interior appears to be original and is also in unusually good condition. Worn fabric on driver's seat, see pictures. Nice to drive, feels stable and strong and shifted nicely during our test drive. Reportedly driven in Carolina on the east coast of the USA.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Equipped with Chevrolet's narrow-block 283cui V8 and automatic box. Original single circuit brake system. Drove very well during the test drive. Normal working condition. Inspected without remark 2022-07-06 and now exempt from inspection.

  • Interior condition:

    Nice original interior in fabric and vinyl with wear on the fabric of the seat cushions. The vinyl appears to be in good enough condition that an upholsterer may be able to replace just the seat fabric. See the pictures. Nice floor mats. Original headliner with damp spot and some tears. Well-preserved door cards. Some door sides would be nicer if you replace the cardboard frame. See pictures. Wonderfully dashboard. The interior overall gives a very good impression. A nice trunk that seems to have the original rubber mat.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car has an old repaint that still looks very good. Beautiful two-tone. A few dots on the front edge of the bonnet, see picture. Straight and nice body with good door slots. The nice chrome and trim are in the condition you would expect from a used and unrestored car from that period. See the pictures. Pristine engine compartment with correct details such as air cleaner, valve covers, treble horn manifolds and radiator wind tunnel.

  • General condition:

    A good overall impression grows when you drive the car for a tour. Comfortable and sits well on the road. Nice sliding and long-distance car in good condition.

Facts about the model

Chevrolet 1958 var ett så kallat one-year wonder. Karossmodellen tillverkades endast som en årsmodell. 1959 var det en helt ny kaross igen. Under utvecklingen av 1958 års Chevrolet modeller hade General Motors inte sparat på krutet. Man hade utvecklat en helt ny stabilare ram som skulle motverka vridande krafter bättre. Ramen var av X-typ och GM kallade den för ”Safety-Girder” (säkerhetsram, fritt översatt). Bakre fjädringen hade man uppgraderat från bladfjädrar till spiralfjädrar. V8 modellen hade dessutom fått krängningshämmare fram, också det helt nytt för året. X-ramen gjorde även att man kunde sänka karossen mer mot marken och få en lägre profil. Tillsammans med en helt nyutvecklad kaross blev bilen blev nästan fyra tum lägre. Plötsligt framstod äldre bilmodeller som höghus, när de parkerade intill en 1958 års Bel Air. 1958 var även första året som dubbla strålkastare infördes som standard. Som samlarfordon levde Chevrolet 1958 länge i skuggan av sina äldre syskon från åren 1955, 1956 och 1957 som tidigt fick epitetet Classic Chevy. I dag uppskattar vi 1958’an på ett helt annat sätt. Parkera gärna din 58’a intill en 57’a som har originalhöjd på fjädringen, så har ni ett givet samtalsämne.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
