Looks like a 150 “A” model.
The 150’s did not have stainless around the windshield.
(The windshield rubber is solid and does not have a split for stainless to fit into.)
The TLB car is a famous example.

 

The 55 model 150's did not have front windshield or rear window stainless

 

See and I'm liking the 150's trimless look. Something about the sides with nothing on them and no beltline trim looks good to me.

Sprayed my WS stainless trim satin black.

 

I bet that got some people riled 😆

Would it be a sin to use 150 windshield rubber on a 210? I know people like to "upgrade" 210s into Bel Airs but never heard of anyone yet doing a "downgrade" from a 210 to 150 trim.

It used to be real common for people to turn 150 and 210 models into BelAirs.
Not so much anymore. Now 150’s are prized for their clean look.
(And I love the cobblestone interior cloth on a 150 ‘57.👍🏼)
Your car, build it how you want.
A black car with less trim and tinted windows looks “mean”.😀

 

mweheheeheheh...

With the help of the Internet and this lovely site, I'm slowly carving my vision, so to speak. Best part is, I get to go out and goggle at her every day XD

 

if you go without the trim on the front and back windows make sure to weld up the trim holes in the body

 

Yup. I also have to weld up some extra holes drilled in the roof as well as the hood emblem holes.

 

Dont see too many 150 or 210`s out there, that look is timeless

 

That wagon could be a Canadian 150- the Canadian version of the 150 used the roof trim delete but retained the side trim of the 210 with the paint divider flag. -- All wagons used the paint divider flag in 1955, but the Canadian 150 sedans used it as well.

 

huh. That's really interesting.

 

Does anyone know if having a Chevrolet fender script over a Belair fender spear is a Canadian thing, or some other foreign country thing? I have seen a number of 55's done like this, but haven't been able to talk to the owner to get the scoop on it.

 

The emblem has more blue in it than normal too...?

Also man that car has great patina!

 

I was so mesmerized when I found my "55 I did not realize it was a 150 at the time. The more I looked,
something grabbed me, and it was the total lack of stainless. At first, I thought it was just all removed but when I decoded it, I found that not only was it a 150 but a Utility Sedan to boot. It was also Nosed and Decked, PO installed a Del Ray interior among other custom stuff. In any case the trend was to upgrade with BelAir trim but the 150's get it in my book.

 

seeing a 150 is extremely rare now a days,
I always wanted either of these 2 cars, VA55L or VA55O,
but after so many years of looking at my Belair,
a 150 looks like something is off with it, they look funny, incomplete, not finished,
weird...............
