The Chevrolet Bel Air is a full-size automobile that was produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for the 1950–1975 model years. From 1950–1952, Hardtops in Chevrolet's Deluxe Styleline model range were designated with the Bel Air name, but it was not a distinct series of its own until the 1953 model year. Bel Air production continued in Canada for its home market only through the 1981 model year. For 1965, the full size Chevrolet was totally restyled, and the cars were stretched to 213.3 inches overall, even though the wheelbase remained the same. The new stamped grill had a lower extension below the bumper which was slightly Veed. Curved window glass and round taillights mounted high characterized the new styling. The interiors were also redesigned and a very attractive dash resulted. The standard V8 remained the 283 CID model of 195 hp, but options included two new 396 CID engines of 325 and 340 hp and two 409 CID blocks of 400 and 425 hp. The Bel Air utilizes a stainless-steel belt and rocker molding, identifying signature on the rear fenders, a glove compartment light and power tailgate on 9-passenger wagons to distinguish itself from the lower priced Biscayne series.
This amazing original time capsule was purchased by the seller last year out of the estate of the original owner. The car has only 28,000 miles from new. It has an interesting combination of options including the Automatic Transmission, but is a radio delete model. It does have a heater. The car runs and drives fine and will provide many years of driving, touring, and showing pleasure to the new owner.
