During the 1950s and 1960s, the Chevy Bel Air became a popular car. During this period, Chevrolet produced two versions of Bel Air, 4-door sedans and 6-passenger station wagons. The Bel Air wagons were similar to other Bel Airs, with a sheet metal rear end. The interiors featured lots of chrome.
During this time period, Chevrolet changed the name of the series from Styleline to Bel Air. They also began to offer special equipment, such as a high-end steering wheel and Delco Freedom battery. The Bel Air was also available in the “Deluxe” premium trim level.
The Bel Air was one of the last full-size American cars to offer a manual gearbox. It was also one of the last full-size cars to have a chrome strip. It had a curb weight of 3,345 pounds. It also had a 115-inch wheelbase.
After World War II, Chevrolet produced the first Chevy Bel Air, which is considered a collector’s item. The first Chevy Bel Air was available in a two-door sedan and a convertible. It was also offered in a sport coupe. This model was the most popular of the Bel Air series.
After the Bel Air’s production ended, it was sold again in 2004. During this time period, Bel Airs included all-vinyl upholstery, full carpeting and Astro Ventilation. The interior was also equipped with a chrome horn ring and full wheel covers.
The second generation Chevrolet Bel Air featured a 4.6L V8 and a 4.3L I6. A 2-speed powerglide transmission was also available. Stainless window openings and a chrome fender spear were also available. The grille featured a Ferrari-inspired design and the Bel Air scripts.
