1955 Chevy Convertible (Ertl) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
Restyled and rejuvenated, an all-new Chevy took the automotive world by storm in 1955. New sheet metal on a new frame and a ball-join suspension combined with longer rear springs provided a much smoother ride, not to mention that the car that ushered in Chevrolet's "modern classic era" could show its colors in any of 23 two-tone or 14 solid-color schemes.
Labeled the "Hot One" in period Chevrolet ads, a record number of buyers chose to "beat the heat" by ordering the Bel Air in its convertible version - more than doubling ragtop version sales from the previous year!

American muscle cars of the 1960s and early 1970s represent the high-water mark of factory-built performance in automotive history. Insurance surcharges, emissions regulations, and the 1973 oil crisis combined to end the original muscle car era almost overnight. Today these vehicles are among the most actively collected American automobiles, with exceptional examples regularly achieving six-figure prices at major auctions.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1955 Chevrolet is produced by Ertl to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
