Few cars embody old-school Americana quite like the 1955 Chevy Bel Air.

A sleek set of Vossen Forged S21-03 wheels fitted in the corners.

Let’s start with the paint and body. Sporting the familiar Bel Air design, this new pro touring classic presents a striking two-tone paint job, mixing silver in the front with black wrapping around the rear fenders and roof. The black accents flow all around the body, including in the custom grille, in the window surrounds, and in the side trim pieces, adding a sleek, modern edge to the car’s classic look. The silver and black pairs nicely with a vibrant red interior, which glows warmly under the cabin’s dome light in the nighttime photos, giving the upholstery an eye-catching luminescence.

Under the classic fenders, we see a set of Vossen Forged S21-03 wheels. These wheels feature a polished gloss lip with a stealth grey center, complementing the Bel Air’s silver-and-black aesthetic. Available in sizes ranging between 18 and 24 inches in diameter and 8.5 to 18 inches in width, the wheels selected for this particular build are the three-piece construction variant, although Vossen offers monoblock and carbon construction are offered as well. For stopping power, aftermarket Wilwood brakes peek through the wheel spokes. The rollers are wrapped in Pirelli rubber.

Looking over the owner’s social media, we see that this this 1955 Chevy Bel Air is driven and enjoyed, which is certainly a nice thing to see. With the modern enhancements, this Bel Air bridges the gap between old-school cool and contemporary design, making it a standout on the road and at car shows alike.
