- This build is stunning! The looks. The sounds. The drive. Every detail is beautiful on this one. And, the backstory is as good. Grandpa's car passed down through the family until the youngest owner of the family decided to do a full build with none other than Ralph Holquin and his company RMD Garage. The result of it all is perfection. This could be one of the nicest 1956 Bel Air's I've ever seen.
Sit back and enjoy the ride...

So cool grandpa got to see it finished! 👍
I know! The whole story and final build are great!
This brings back memories. Fifty years ago I bought my first car at 17. As with your grandfather I got my 56 from the original owner and 2 months later shipped off over seas and could not wait to get back home to drive it. Great job young man
Awesome!! The story and respect with Dave and his car is great
This is an absolutely gorgeous build. The 55 & 57 Bel Air models always seem to get the notoriety, and it's so nice to see a 56 representing that nameplate so beautifully. I really love how it stayed in the family for all these years. Great car & vid.
Agreed all the way here. Thanks for the comment and compliment 👊
That interior is out of this world beautiful!! Holy hell! Not a single part wasn’t touched on this build!! Simply stunning!!
Truly a stunning beautiful build
We had a bel air sitting in our grandpas garage for 2 years now, we got i from a old dude for 7000 and suprising still run. My dad had restored cars for years and makes them look brand new and now i cant wait to restore our as my first car
Beautiful 56, one of the sharpest interior I have seen in these cars, love the Belair speaker in console, one of the best car stories I've seen, glad his grandfather got to see it finished, the smile on their faces showed what it meant to them, great video guys, thanks for taking us along on this beautiful 56.
This is perfection kept the chrome and deleted the perfect amount of barbs the body is smooth interior is perfect and not over the top hp , RD nailed it beauitiful
I never like that model but damn this guy did an amazing job with the car everything it's just perfect he has a great taste I wouldn't change anything about it again WOW
WOW that is the most beautiful 56 I've seen love the colors . Great job on the build. A 56 was my 1st car
I agree all the way here!
Beautiful 56, my favorite year of the Tri-5's.
I'm building a radical 56 hard top Bel Air myself, can't wait till its done.
Nothing but burning off tires and causing whiplashes as I drive by.😁👍🏼
I have to Honestly say, the 55, 56 and 57 Chevy was the Best looking cars Chevy has ever made, sad you can't buy a remake of one with today's technology in it, Love the Body style, it still turns heads to this very day.
Enjoyed this episode is an understatement. This is the coolest '56 Bel Air on the road! The '56 is my favorite of the tri 5 Chevys 👍
Thank you! This is pure rolling art. Love it!!
Just when u think the cars can't get any better on this show 👌
The 56 bel airs are like the middle child of the tri-five chevys, they get overshadowed by the 55s and 57s so it's nice to see one that's been built like this one.
Old comment, but just had to say, my favorite of the Tri-Fives is the 55, then the 56, then the 57....but if given the chance, I'd rather have a 54 over a 57 (but never over a 55 or 6)...then, IMO, Chevy ruined them all the way up until 62, from 58-60 they were hideous, 61 got "decently acceptable",(unless we're talking about the 61 Impala Bubble), then in 62 they knocked it out with the Bel Air bubble, god that bubble top.... what I wouldn't give to have a 62 Bel Air, or Impala, with a 409 W-Block and a 4spd 😖
There are so 56 & 57 Chevy’s done in the past but this car is incredible …..super impressive. Great video Shawn keep em’ coming brother!
This really is a stellar build. I’m not a big tri five guy but this one is impressive
This probably is the best looking tri chevy ever for me! The color, the wheels... perfect build! 👍😎
This video gives me hope. Last 22 years of my life my Vietnam vet grandfathers 56 4 door has been collecting dust and kills me everyday. Nonetheless I already have my dream build vision which is similar to this build and my pa’s only request is he’s gonna be the first to drive it. Gotta get on it !!
Get it done while he’s still with you! This one is so beautiful
One of my favorite episodes. The colors are perfect! The stance is perfect. Love the 55 and 56's, just iconic styling from that period in the US.
This build is as good as its backstory and the owner Dave is such a cool guy. Awesome shoot!
@@AutotopiaLA , just amazing to have one car that's passed through the same family. And the end result is just perfection IMO. I wouldn't change one single and usually I can at least nitpick some things. Not this car.
Tri-Five's are my favorite. A car like this is a dream for me
This car is truly stunning and I love that Dave and his wife take it out all the time
I used to ride to school in a '56 Chevy with 265 c.i. engine......what a really nice little car. I dunno why the '56 never attained the limelight that the .57 did. Both were just beautiful. Really great hardtop and the color is so right! I've loved the wheels since they came out and it seems to me that they look good on almost anything they're put on.....just a plain, attractive rim. I've been watching your channel since the Earth's crust cooled and this is the nicest ride(for me) that I've seen.....just SO clean, sweet and complete!
Loving this comment! Thanks for being here with us and I promise we’ll continue showing great cars and making our shots, sound and editing better. Thank you!
Not sure why people don’t like the rims. The rims look great in that color. Gives the car a modern muscle look
These wheels are perfect on this car as is every other choice made. Absolutely beautiful build
I have to agree. I'mll looking fowarfld to find whells like thoose to my Classic here in Brazil
so cool that it stayed in the family
And that he did this with it! Love it
SO easy on the eyes. I wrote down the colours immediately for future builds.Thanks Shaun.
This is a stunner. Truly beautiful build and the color choices are impeccable
Everyone loves the 57 the most. But, classifying the Tri-5 in order of my preference is 55 first, because I have one. Then 56 second and lastly 57. This is a beautiful car and sounds mean.
The build quality on this car is amazing and the sound is perfect. Absolutely love this build
My favourite by far … just perfect..!! Great work and excellent video.. thanks
56 the best looking of the tri five chevy's. One of the nicest looking cars to come out of the fifties. This is a beauti. Cheers.
This one is really beautiful with a great story
A great story, a very cool car and I really like those headlights.
Agreed all the way here
The 56 chev was and always will be the gnarliest mussel car of all time..and this car is the perfect example of that fact!!!.😎♥️🇺🇸
That stance and wheel choice is awesome.....shes a beaut
The 56 was always underrated!
265 engine. Same that my first car 55 BelAir 3 on the column...
THIS IS AN AWESOME CAR..love it
Killer build. Stunning!
The 56 is my favorite one and that one is super nice
Simply amazing. Everything just goes together the color combo and the engine bay is so clean. He really nailed it 👍
Agreed. Just perfection on wheels
Another work of art. Thanks
Absolutely! Thanks for enjoying the vid
Fabulous fabulous fabulous.. just like one of those old Thomas English Muffins commercials every nook and cranny has been well done To perfection Sean you knocked it out of the park with this video of this slick 56
I am def. in the wrong country - what a wow car -greetings from Austria
Beautiful!!
Awesome, build and stunning looking car! And the heritage of the car makes it just that more special. Also love the amount of high quality content you guys keep turning out, making shure no detail gets missed on these cars and giving us a taste of the driving experience through the audio that's always on point. Thanks Shawn and all others that are involved!👍
Thanks for this comment. I’m proud of what we’ve been doing and always trying to get the best customs and the team is always striving to make better content. Thank you!
perfect build

Great job! A very stylish car! Bravo!
April to October!!! They had all hands on deck building that car. Fantastic work. Everything including the trunk blows you away.
Absolutely Stunning work of art!!!
Absolutely gorgeous car! Colors are perfect together. Ive been loving these bel air more and more
Same for me. This is one of the best I’ve ever seen by far!
Beautiful and tastefully done!
Simply stunning! My favorite car on your channel.
It is an incredible build. The taste and quality of work is flawless
The quality and variety of builds on this channel is outstanding, jaw dropping, keep up the amazing work!
Thank you! Lots more to come as SoCal is bottomless for custom badass vehicles
Flawless build. That two tone colour combo, pff, damn!
I know. Flawless beauty right here
@@AutotopiaLA Love that Chevy man, it's a piece of culture. Not black out as the one in American Graffiti... Is there any Mercury, led sled in future? The one from Cobra (movie) was influential for me. :D
@@AutotopiaLA I still need to make my point as far as the body work below the body moldings. Needs to be redone. If it were mine, I would not be too happy given the amount of money spent on what should be perfection.
That thing is sweet, perfect I like that he's not trying to get to the moon with the motor lots of class and heart hear👍
He built it to be a cruiser and drives it all the time which I think is cool
Salute and much success
Thanks!
Beautiful
my grandfather an I are working on restoring our old 56 this just has me so excited to see what the end result is going to be like
I love the Ghost ring headlights.
Beautiful..love the interior

Stance is great! Love the shoebox chevs!
This is pure beauty
I am impressed !!!!! Excellent craftsmanship and engineering!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
This one is stunning with a great backstory
Love all the car just wish I had one
It's gorgeous! Everything is a treat for the eyes, but I keep coming back to the wheels & definitely those valve covers. LS's are everywhere but few look as great as this one does.
Same two things stood out to me. LS Motors aren’t pretty but this one looks incredible and those wheels are perfect on here
Your description sums this car up to a "T" ... love this car. I especially appreciate the interior, and would've loved to have had something similar in my '57 ... way back in the day.
Fantastic car! Impossible to say anything, but - what a wonderful car!
Wow!!! Love it!!
Me too. Can’t stop looking and listening to it
When the trunk interior is nicer than your whole car interior 😂😅
Beautiful beautiful Bel Aire. Doesn't appear to have to much get up and go from the stop. Throw the Kindigs out and build them into the trim.
It’s a cruiser and makes plenty of power for that. He wasn’t going for anything else and they nailed it on all the details and choices
Not dogging the build at all...just my $.02. Keep up the great videos brother.
This was an amazing build would
love to have it in my collection
Beautiful build for sure and the story is as good
You guys consistently show the best cars... Love the Caliper color
Thank you. We’re always in search of the best customs around
The engine bay is stunning
Truly is. LS Motors aren’t pretty stock and this one looks as good as the rest of the car
Love it. Perfect clean build.
That car is badass
Absolutely beautiful car, I don't think they could have chosen a better colour scheme and that interior is just killer. That LS3 looks and sounds great it's nice and peaceful just cruising around but loud and proud when you hit the gas =)
Agreed all the way here. Stunning car and a perfect cruiser
Beautiful toy 👏
Really nice!
Sure is a beauty
Beautiful Car.
Those wheels are spot on!! 👏
They got the period correct look to them,excellent choice! 👌
Everything on this build is right imo. Pure rolling art
Beautiful 56
I wish that auto manufacturers would do more to support keeping their oldschool vehicles on the road... Yes,I'm dreaming, sue me.
It’s a good dream though!
There no money in that
Big Dawg you spoke the truth about the wheels, I'm not a fan either but they look awesome on a Bel-Air 🤟💯
Beautiful car, Great Job.
So much work and detail in this one
I looked for ages for lights like those.
They are so good on this one! Everything on this car is perfect imo
Awesome car Awesome history what a nice job!
Yes and yes. Agreed all the way here
Great car and even better story! keep bringing the great content!
I love the whole package here too! And lots more to come from us I promise
Beautiful car. Love the exhaust note. Savage.
It’s a perfect 56 build at every look and sound
What can you say other than BOOM. What a build best I’ve ever seen
This piece of history has real personality and a pedigree with a history. Those guys overlooked nothing on this build.
Agreed all the way Doc! They didn’t miss anything here
Out of the park
Awesome
I love American muscle cars
Great build! A very nice muscle cruiser. So well executed and clean.
Agreed all the way. Beautiful build and the backstory is as beautiful
i love the 56 chevy
And this one is about as good as it gets
Great Episode guys!! This '56 truly is top notch and you guys captured it perfectly!!

the 56 Chevy is underrated
Especially one done as well as this

Damn. That’s bad ass love the whole car great job man thanks for sharing Shawn
Agreed. Thanks for watching and enjoying this one
Ever since I saw the Bel Air in Knight Rider 2000 movie from 1991 I love it :) Would be great if you shoot a KITT replica sometime.
I’m hoping sooner or later to shoot a real one. I had one stored at my shop for about a week but didn’t get the opportunity to shoot it
