Equipment
324/230hp, automatic, power brakes and steering, spinner wheel covers, wide whitewalls.
Condition
Excellent paint, chrome, top and interior. Doors don't quite close flush but the gaps are even. Trunk lid fit is very good. Engine compartment and underbody are like new. A show quality Oldsmobile.
Market commentary
This result is no more than could be expected for a '56 Chevy Bel Air convertible with Power Pack V8, giving the new owner a more rare, powerful and distinctive automobile with luxury equipment for a reasonable price. It is a sound value in this transaction, an astute acquisition for a collector not fixated on a Chevy.
