'55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser

Description[]

This casting depicts a gasser version of the 1955 Chevy Bel Air.

The 2020 Boulevard release of this casting is based on the 'Tri 5 By Fire', a Bel Air gasser owned by Jon Chase of Hoonigan. Chase happened upon the car sitting underneath a freeway in poor condition. He later restored and built the car into a gasser.

The 2021 RLC and 2022 Mainline releases of this casting are based on the "Triassic Five", designer Brendon Vetuskey's own 1955 Chevy Bel Air Gasser; he would sell the car in 2023.
