Meet “Heat” - 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible
- Dec 20, 2013
This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible was designed and built by Hulst Customs of Merlin, Oregon for Don and Karen Blacksmith of Grants Pass, OR. This car is a full custom in every sense of the word, way too features and modifications to list, but you’ll find most of it is visible in the pictures here.
“Heat” officially debuted at the 2009 SEMA show, was a Top 25 pick at SEMA by Hot Rod Magazine. From there, the car went on to the Good Guys show at Scottsdale, AZ and won the Top Ten pick.
