Chevrolet Bel Air

Fifties American sedan

The Chevrolet Bel Air was a full-size automobile produced by Chevrolet from 1950 to 1975.

The 1955-1957 models became iconic symbols of 1950s American car culture, prized for their chrome trim, two-tone paint schemes, and available V8 engines.

These "Tri-Five" Chevys remain among the most collectible classic cars: He spent years restoring a '57 Bel Air.
