The Chevrolet Bel Air was first introduced in 1950 as part of the Chevrolet Deluxe line. Over the years, it underwent several design changes, but the 1957 model year is widely considered the most iconic and desirable version of this classic car. The aerodynamic design, which featured a leaner, more angular front end, and prominent grille, and chrome accents added to its overall style and sophistication.
The V8 engine was available in three different sizes: 265 cubic inches, 283 cubic inches, and 283 with fuel injection.
