Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1955 belair color, blue india, coral color


Question
I would like to know approximately how many 1955 chev bel airs were produced in the two-tone shadow grey/coral color. I haven't been able to find this anywhere on line. Thanks, Loyd

Answer
Having owned a '55 Nomad in this color combination, I looked long and hard for this figure myself. I had zero luck. If the factory kept such records, they have never beem made public. It is, however, one of the rarest color combos for that year. I believe only Cashmere Blue/India Ivory and Shadow Gray/India Ivory are rarer, at least on Nomads. Coral/Gray might even be the rarest on all models. It was most popular on convertibles.
