Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE 

The Bel Airs and Nomads from 1955 to 1957, commonly known as the "Tri-Five" models, stand as iconic hot rods that mark a significant milestone in General Motors' history. In 1955, Chevrolet revamped its mid-size car, introducing an enhanced chassis and restyled body available in various configurations. Among the most coveted was the Bel Air 2-Door Sedan, positioned as the sports coupe in the Chevrolet lineup, emphasizing handling, aesthetics, and performance. The Bel Air's triumph extended beyond performance, as General Motors' styling department meticulously crafted its appearance, drawing inspiration from contemporary Italian designs. The gracefully recessed headlamps and stylish rear fender cutouts became iconic design elements intertwined with the culture of the 1950s. 

This lot is offered Without Reserve from The Roger Boman Collection, which comprises 27 vehicles ranging from European to American classics. Many examples within the collection feature Mr. Boman’s standard modification “formula,” including but not limited to the addition of disc brakes, air conditioning, modern fuel injection, and many other custom touches seen by countless enthusiasts around the Fresno, California area who shared the late owner’s passion for this unique assortment of automobiles.
