A framed display featuring the book accompanies the car. Combining the first-year Tri-Five design, 265ci V8 power, desirable 2-door hardtop body style, period accessories, and an unusually well-documented restoration story, this Bel Air offers considerably more character and provenance than the typical restored 55.
