UNDERCARRIAGE
: Solid and intactWikipedia Information"The Chevrolet Bel Air was a
full-size car produced by Chevrolet for the 19501981 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 a number of body styles. The Bel Air continued
with various other trim level designations until US production
ceased in 1975.In 1957 engine displacement grew to 283
cu
in (4,640
cc) with the "Super Turbo Fire V8" option producing 283
hp (211
kW) with the help of continuous (closed loop) mechanical fuel
injection. These so-called "fuelie" cars are quite rare, since most
Bel Airs were fitted with carburetion. The 1957 Bel Air is among
the most recognizable American cars of all time; well-maintained
examples, especially Sport Coupes and Convertibles are highly
sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. They are roomy, with
tastefully restrained, period use tail fins and chrome. A second
automatic transmission, Turboglide, was optional. While the
original two-speed Powerglide continued unchanged, Turboglide
provided a continuously variable gear ratio which made "shifting"
imperceptible. The shift quadrant on Turboglide cars followed a "P
R N D Gr" pattern."American Dream Machines
