Originally introduced in 1995 by Monogram (Monogram 85-2462 1955 Chevrolet Convertible model car), this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible Model Kit by Revell/Monogram is one of those highly detailed model car kits and goes together as easily now as it did in it's first production run. 

The engine in this model kit is a multi-piece affair, typical of Monogram in this era. It is a nice representation of the stock 1955 265 cu in (4.3 L) small block Chevy. This engine consists of 19 highly detailed parts including the air cleaner, carburetor, intake manifold, 2-piece engine block/transmission combo, cylinder heads, 3-piece exhaust headers, oil filler spout, oil filter, fuel line filter, distributor cap, fan belt, fan and generator.  All these parts are molded in white plastic. 

The chassis is a beautifully designed unit that includes independent front suspension axle with coil springs,  rear leaf springs, brake drums, two piece rear differential, drive shaft, shock absorbers,  your choice of exhaust pipes, (factory, chromed dual exhaust straight pipes and chromed dummy lake pipes) and a choice of bumper brackets or rolled pans.
The suspension is true to the stock ride height. 

The 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible Model Kit By Revell/Monogram is molded in salmon pink and black charcoal plastic with the tires molded as a single piece with snap in white wall tires. The kit also includes clear plastic windows for front, rear and side windows. 

This kit can only be built fully factory stock, but the interior seat pattern is unique to the Bel Air Convertible.  That being said, you get the stock dashboard and steering wheel. The interior features separate door panels, floor and multi-piece front bench seat and dashboard.

The Revell/Monogram 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible Model Kit is molded with the distinctive Chevrolet Bel Air convertible body and interior. The following Revell kit, the 1955 Chevrolet Pace Car Convertible was modified from this kit and shares many pieces with it. 

The kit’s decal sheet features many of the hard to paint factory stock graphics to dress up your car, but basically consists of licence plates, wheel trim, battery and under-hood stickers. 

The kit is well detailed and goes together easily. 

No matter how you build it, this is one fun model kit!
