There are a few American cars that qualify as ever-green classics, and the Chevrolet Bel Air from the tri-five years (1955-57) qualifies.
In a feature exploring the series we wrote: “Back in 1955, Chevrolet had 14 models in its range and its primary sales target was to beat Ford. You could get a sedan with a six-cylinder powerlant for just $1600, while options and add-ons saw you closer to the top of the range in a well-equipped Bel Air at near $2800. This was also the year that saw the introduction of the elegant Nomad two-door wagon.”
This example is running the then new Turbo Fire 265 V8 with two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission.
Classic & American Imports in Adelaide has it, priced at $89,900.
