Chevrolet 1955-1964 – 2020 Market Review

Chevrolet 1955-1964 market review 2020

From the mid-1950s when Chevrolet’s V8 engine arrived, these cars became hugely popular and for decades have remained at the forefront of classic car culture.

Bel-Air two-doors built from 1955-57 have sold in restored condition for more than $100,000, with fuel-injected 1957 Hardtops at more than double that. Sedans – often modified – are worth $50-65,000.

| Reader Resto: 1956 Chev Bel-Air

From 1960, local cars had 4.6-litre V8s and at $20-25,000 they offer good value. Two-door Impala Sport imports, especially with big-block 348 or 409 engines, routinely exceed $50,000.

Convertibles are scarce, with 1955-57 cars costing $100,000+ and 1958-64s headed that way.
