The Belvedere was styled under the direction of Virgil Exner, and this example is said to have been previously been finished in white. The body was reportedly removed from the frame, stripped, and repainted in two-tone red and white during current ownership. Features include a black convertible top, a red top boot, chrome bumpers and trim, dual side mirrors, front vent windows, and dual exhaust outlets.
Steel 14″ wheels wear bright covers and are mounted with 8.00×14″ BFGoodrich Silvertown wide whitewall tires. The Belvedere was equipped with Chrysler’s Torsion-Aire torsion bar front suspension in 1955, and braking is handled by power-assisted drums at all four corners.
The interior features bench seating trimmed in red vinyl with patterned black cloth inserts, while gold-colored accents line the color-coordinated door panels. Appointments include push-button shifting, black carpets, power steering, hand-crank side windows, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a heater, and a push-button radio.
The black and ivory-colored steering wheel frames a 150-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer indicates 75k miles, approximately 2k of which have been added by the seller. True mileage is unknown.
The original 301ci V8 was replaced with a Fury-sourced 318ci V8 during current ownership. Features include dual four-barrel carburetors and a performance camshaft. The seller states that an oil change was performed in July 2022.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a replacement three-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission. Additional underside images are included in the gallery below.
