Chevrolet BelAir 1955
El Chevrolet Bel Air fue un automóvil producido en serie entre 1953 y 1975 por Chevrolet, una división de la General Motors Corporation. De 1950 a 1952, los Chevrolets de lujo eran llamados de Bel Air, aunque todavía no era el nombre oficial, utilizado recién a partir de 1953.
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 1955, Chevrolet's full-size model received new styling that earned it the "Hot One" designation by enthusiasts. Unlike Ford and Plymouth, Chevrolet's styling was considered crisp and clean. Bel Airs came with features found on cars in the lower models ranges plus interior carpet, chrome headliner bands on hardtops, chrome spears on front fenders, chrome window moldings, and full wheel covers. Models were further distinguished by the Bel Air name script in gold lettering. For 1955 Chevrolets gained a V8 engine option. The new 265 cubic inches (4,343 cc) cubic-inch V8 featured a modern, overhead valve high compression, long stroke design that was so good that it remained in production in various forms, for many decades. The base V8 had a two-barrel carburetor and was rated at 162 horsepower (121 kW), and the "Power Pack" option featured a four-barrel carburetor and other upgrades yielding 180 brake horsepower (130 kW). Later in the year, a "Super Power Pack" option added high-compression and a further 15 brake horsepower (11 kW).
O Bel Air é um automóvel que foi produzido em série de 1953 a 1975 pela Chevrolet, uma divisão da General Motors. De 1950 a 1952, os Chevrolets de luxo eram chamados de Bel Air, porém essa não era uma série distinta de automóveis. O Bel Air continuou em produção no Canadá com o modelo de 1981.
Em 1955, o Chevrolet foi re-estilizado, e ganhou o apelido de "The Hot One". Os Bel Airs vinham com acessórios encontrados em modelos de menor categoria, mais interior encarpetado, diversos cromados, e calotas estilizadas. O modelo era diferenciado também pelo nome escrito em letras douradas.
Os modelos de 55, 56, e principalmente de 57, são os carros americanos mais relembrados; os exemplos bem mantidos (especiamente coupés e conversíveis) são muito procurados por entusiastas. Espaçosos, eficientes, e com belos acabamentos cromados e cauda, eles são vistos como muito mais belos e superiores que os carros que frequentarão Detroit pelos próximos anos.
