As Good as New!
This spectacular ’55 Bel Air is definitely a “keeper.”

My name is Bill Manchester and I’m from Warwick, RI. I’m retired and enjoy the classic and custom cars from just about any year. My wife and I attend cruise nights and car shows for different charities. I have owned a variety of vehicles, mostly Chevrolets, from custom street rods to Corvettes–and now I may have my “keeper” car.
My road to a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door hardtop started at the Spring Show held at the Daytona Beach Speedway in Florida at the end of March, 2011. It all happened when I sold my 1967 Corvette Coupe at this event. I really did not see another car that I was interested in buying at that time. After a couple of weeks with no car, I started to panic and decided to return to my home in Rhode Island and begin the search for another ride.
