Here we have a time capsule 1956 Bel Air Hardtop with a 265 ci engine and a Powerglide transmission. This is a great car. We believe the miles to be original (as the title states actual). The paint appears to be lacquer, and appears to still retain original paint in the jambs. The engine and transmission appear to be numbers matching. The under side of this car is solid and never repaired...frame...floor pans...trunk pan...are all in great condition. Mechanically, this car is A-1. As for the interior, front and rear seats have been well maintained and the carpet appears to have been replaced at one point. The chrome still has a nice shine to it, and the bright work is polished with looks that defy its age. If you are looking for a good honest driver quality tri-five that you can drive anywhere with confidence.
