The Chevrolet Bel Air was a full-size automobile that was produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for the 1950–1975 model years.
The name Bel Air was used to designate hardtops in the Chevrolet Deluxe StyleLine model, which was not a distinct series of its own.
Total 514.760 numbers of all modifications Bel Air were sold out in 1953.
In 1953 Chevrolet renamed its series and the Bel Air name was applied to the premium model range. The 1953 Chevrolet was advertised as "Entirely new through and through," due to the restyled body panels, front and rear ends. However, essentially these Chevrolets had the same frame and mechanicals as the 1949-52 cars.
The Bel Air series featured a wide chrome strip of molding from the rear fender bulge, to the rear bumper. The inside of this stripe was painted a coordinating color with the outside body color. 1953 was the first year for a curved, one-piece windshield. Bel Air interiors had an optional massive expanse of chrome across the lower part of the dashboard. Carpeting and full wheel covers rounded out Bel Air standard equipment.
For 1954, the Bel Air stayed essentially the same, except for a revised grille and taillights, and a revised engine. Prior to 1954, the 235 and 216 cubic inch six cylinder engines were employed. The 106 hp (79 kW) 235 cubic inch displacement engine was standard.
