For over 30 years CARS Inc. has been reproducing sheetmetal, parts, and hand-sewn interiors for some of the most famous Chevys - including the 1955 Chevy Bel Air Convertible.

The first part that CARS Inc. offered was a simple emblem, but over time CARS Inc. added many more items to enable people to restore their own classic Chevys - since most of these parts were no longer available from GM - or from anywhere else.

As the years rolled by, more and more items for the 1955 Chevy became available as reproduction parts. Today, the items you would need to build a 1955 Chevy are all available - and that is why we at CARS Inc. have decided to offer a complete 1955 Chevy Convertible body.

CARS Inc. has announced that a limited number of restored 1955 Chevy Bel Air Convertible steel bodies (available with or without the front clip sheetmetal), as well as complete turn-key cars will be made available for sale.

Each 1955 body starts with an original factory 1955 Chevrolet cowl, and then around this car a body is restored with all brand new USA stamped sheetmetal. Bodies will be available with or without a chassis, and with or without the front clip sheetmetal. The price for the 1955 Chevy steel body without the front clip is $29,900. Since the 1955 Chevy steel body with the front clip uses NOS fenders, you should call for current price.

There will also be available complete turn-key 1955 Chevy Convertibles (starting at $180,000). 1955 steel bodies include all sheetmetal needed for a Bel Air Convertible - includes full welded floor pans, fenders (NOS), hood, rear deck lid, all braces, and every other part needed. The convertible top bow mechanism is NOT included. See more at: CARS Inc.

There are three body options available:

BODY ONLY - a fully spot-welded body made with heavy gauge steel, and made in the USA. This option is perfect for people or shops who would like to customize every detail of your car. The cost of the 1955 steel body without the front clip is $29,900 - call 1-800-CARS Inc. for the price of the complete body with NOS fenders, as well as the convertible top mechanism.

BODY ON CHASSIS - this is the above mentioned body that is “married” to either an original 1955 Chevy steel frame, or to a modern Art Morrison chassis. The chassis cost is between $15,000-20,000 depending on the options you choose.

COMPLETE CAR - this option takes the body and chassis from above and adds to it all other items needed to have a brand new “turn-key” car that you can drive away in.
