chevrolet bel air 1955 3D Model

the chevrolet bel air was an automobile series produced by the chevrolet division of general motors from 1953–75. from 1950–52, hardtops in chevrolet's premium deluxe model range were designated with the bel air name, but it was not a distinct series of its own. the bel air continued in production in canada through the 1981 model year.

in 1953 chevrolet renamed its series and the bel air name was applied to the premium model range. two lower series, the 150 and 210, also emerged. in 1955, chevrolets gained a v8 engine option.

in 1955, chevrolet's full-size model received new styling that earned it the "hot one" designation by enthusiasts. unlike 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.

the '55, '57, and especially '56 bel airs are among the most recognizable american cars of all time; well-maintained examples (especially coupes and convertibles) are highly sought after by enthusiasts. roomy, fuel-efficient, and with tastefully restrained use of tail fins and chrome, they are seen by many as vastly superior to the oversized and overdecorated full-size models that would roll out of detroit for the next 20 years.
