Vehicle Description

and with that, Chevrolet introduced rear tail fins that mimicked
the jet engine design in military aircraft, along with rocket hood
ornaments and chrome headliner bands on the hardtop models. With

designs, cars now represented the post war prosperity in
America.This 57 Bel Air is a great find. It has been in the same
