Vehicle Description
This beautiful first-generation Bel Air was recently restored and
painted in a two-tone white and blue. The Chevrolet Bel Air was a
full-size car produced by Chevrolet for the 1950-1981 model years.
Initially only the two door hardtops in the Chevrolet model range
were designated with the Bel Air name from 1950 to 1952, as
distinct from the Styleline and Fleetline models for the remainder
of the range. With the 1953 model year the Bel Air name was changed
from a designation for a unique body shape to a premium level of
trim applied across many body styles. The Bel Air continued with
various other trim level designations until US production ceased in
1975. Production continued in Canada, for its home market only,
through the 1981 model year. Bel Air interiors had an optional
massive expanse of chrome across the lower part of the dashboard
(most were painted), along with a deluxe Bel Air steering wheel
with full chrome horn ring. Carpeting and full wheel covers rounded
out Bel Air standard equipment. For 1954, the Bel Air stayed
essentially the same, except for a revised grille and taillights,
and a revised engine that had insert bearings and higher oil
pressure, needed for the full-flow oil filtration system that was
not available prior to 1954. Prior to 1954, the 235 and 216 CID
six-cylinder engines. The same year this Bel Air rolled off the
production line. President Eisenhower signs into law the new social
security bill funded by employers and employees. And Sports
