Description: Going to the highest bidder in this eBay auction is absolutely exquisite classic automobile from the “rock around the clock” era; an authentic ’55 Chevrolet Bel Air 283/6 cylinder Sport Coup with "three on the tree" stick, the original power steering, frame and suspension, and loaded with most of its original equipment and accessories. Painstakingly and lovingly restored on the frame to its original splendor, this Chevrolet classic was promoted as “The Hot One” in all of GM’s 1955 advertising campaigns and America went absolutely wild over the new ’55 Bel Air Sport Coupe with its “motoramic: styling, improved handling and a unique “blue flame” six cylinder engine considered the most powerful of its kind. This baby literally looks like it has been driven off the original show room floor! With ONLY 17,000 MILES ON IT AND ONLY TWO OWNERS, this little sweetheart was a gift to but rarely driven by the sister of an MGM film historian, stored for several decades in Northern California, then stored for another decade in Simi Valley by its present owner who must reluctantly part with it due to illness. Chevy’s Bel Air styling was crisp, clean, and incorporated a Ferrari-inspired grille, chrome headliner bands, chrome spears on the front fenders, stainless steel window moldings, full wheel covers and distinguished by the super cool Bel Air name script. The breath-taking seafoam green with eggshell white exterior is only matched by its original two tone seafoam green interior and ORIGINAL UPHOLSTERY (only the internal padding has been replaced). The carpeting has been replaced with a flawless matching reproduction of the original. The windows and rubber seals are also ORIGINAL as are the hubcaps (with special safeguards installed to keep them from falling off) and five (including the spare) excellent radial tires. Likewise, the DASHBOARD IS ORIGINAL and includes a very cool dashboard traffic light reflector in addition to an equally cool chrome Kleenex holder under the dashboard. Here is an exceptional opportunity to own an extraordinary classic car in extraordinarily excellent condition with extraordinarily low mileage for its age. It even has a LOW JACK SECURITY SYSTEM INSTALLED. Rarely does a super cool classic car with super low miles on it come up for auction on eBay and this beautiful example certainly would make an impressive addition to any car collection.

During this time, we have acquired countless prop, wardrobe and memorabilia items from film and television studios, production companies, theatrical firms, as well as prop & wardrobe warehouses. We have acquired additional treasures over the years from friends and colleagues in show business and represent the estates of many noted celebrities and entertainment professionals. Most of our prop and wardrobe items have been well cared for over the years and are in excellent condition for their age. Unfortunately, the expense of storing these items has become prohibitive so we must reduce our collection and, hopefully, attract buyers who will cherish them as we do. Some of our treasures may have notable celebrity provenances which we are pleased to disclose for your interest and will happily provide a Letter of Authenticity at the Buyer’s request. We extend an unconditional lifetime guarantee for all celebrity-related memorabilia and will provide a full refund for any item that is not as it is represented in our description.

On Apr-25-13 at 21:53:36 PDT, seller added the following information: The response to this auction has been overwhelming to date (several thousand views and several hundred watchers) and we are pleased to provide additional images of this item as per your many requests. Among them are the Vin and trim plates and a few photos of the vehicle's underside. As you will see, our description of this super cool car are not exaggerated. We do, however, wish to correct and clarify two items in our previous description: 1. The upholstery is original and so the seats are in fact made of vinyl and cloth--not leather. 2, The actual current mileage on this vehicle is 17,849 and, yes, this is the original mileage. Please let us know if you have any additional concerns or questions. -Propsandwardrobe- m
