Of course, besides the iconic '56side trim, perhaps the most famous exterior update occurred with regards to theplacement of the gas filler cap which, in true 50s fashion, was hidden behindthe driver's side taillight. The interiors on the Bel Air were the plushest interior offered by Chevrolet back in 1956 and they were very well-optioned.
