1955 Chevrolet Bel
Air Sport Coupe
Owner: Bill &
Helen Cook, Issaquah, WA
With the help of my friend Rex
Ott I bought the 55’ Bel Air in Sept. of ’04. I had been looking
for one for several years. It was the car I had in high school
and I always wanted another one. It was a recent frame off restoration
out of California, and was also an Oakland built car. I have
spent the last several months restoring it to my taste. I have
redone the paint and engine compartment along with the rear
end, suspension and transmission. It is still a project in work.
