Memories of my Chevrolet Bel Air by Nina Prommer
Chevrolet Bel Air - this car belongs to the Premium Deluxe range of Chevrolet brand of cars. These specially designed cars featured hard tops, and custom engineered V8 engines. In addition, the cars had crisp and clean styling such as interior carpet, chrome headliner bands fixed onto hardtops, chrome spears attached onto the front fenders, chrome window moldings, and fully covered wheel. The styling of the Chevrolet Bel Air models, gave it a 'Hot One' designation from its loyal partisans. The Bel Air was structurally different from its predecessors. This one had a different chassis than the previous Chevrolet series that were much larger and bulkier in size as well as jazzily decorated. They had plenty of room to spare, even though being smaller in size, achieved better fuel-efficiency as compared to cars of the same category, and had elegantly designed and integrated tail fins and chrome finishing. The distinctive feature of the Bel Air was its Bel Air name tag scripted in gold lettering. A true classic car for many car lovers. Here is some more info via Dale Walker: This is a "Nomad" model. A sporty 2-dr 'hardtop' station wagon with a convertible-height windshield, and an angled tailgate with vertical bars and complex-rounded rear glass. Chevy only made about 5,000 Nomads in each of the 1955, 1956 and 1957 model years. The Nomads are a legend, and the 'first-year' 1955 model is an extremely rare and desireable ride.
