1962 Chevrolet Bel Air Maisto 1:18

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 automóviles Chevrolet de lujo eran llamados Bel Air, aunque todavía no era el nombre oficial, utilizado recién a partir de 1953.

Esta serie continuó produciéndose en Canadá con el modelo de 1981.

For 1961, Chevrolet again had a totally new body, not just new sheet metal. Its wheelbase remained 119 in (3,000 mm), but its length was now reduced slightly to 209.3 in (5,320 mm). All engines options of the previous year remained in effect with the standard engines being the 235.5 CID Six of 135HP (101 kW) or the 283 CID V8 of 170HP (130 kW). The V8 cost $110 more than the Six and weighed 5 lb. (2.3 kg) less.The Bel Air 2-door sedan used squared-off roof styling and large wrap-around rear window as opposed to the hardtop's swept-back design. The Bel Air 4-door Sport Hardtop still used a different roof line than did the 4-door sedan.For 1962, all sheet metal except the door panels was changed. Overall length was stretched slightly to 209.6 in (5,320 mm). The 4-door Sport Hardtop was no longer offered in the Bel Air series. Standard engines remained the same as the previous year. A new 327 cu in (5,360 cc) V8 of 250 or 300HP (220 kW) was offered in addition to the giant (for the time) 409 cu in (6,700 cc) V8 of 380HP (280 kW) or 409HP (305 kW) with the dual four-barrel carburetor setup. All wagons this year were 4-door models and separate distinctions for wagons were dropped. Now all models were either Biscayne, Bel Air or Impala series. Full carpeting returned as standard equipment on all 1962 Bel Air models for the first time in several years. The Bel Air Sport Coupe was in its last year of U.S. production, and its roofline was a carryover from the 1961 hardtop coupe.

From Wikipedia:
 The 1955 Chevrolet (sometimes referred to as '55 Chevy) is an automobile which was introduced by Chevrolet in Autumn 1954 for the 1955 model year. It is considered a huge turning point for the manufacturer and a major success. It was available in three models: the 150, 210, and Bel Air.

The '55 Chevy was the first successful Chevrolet with an optional V8 engine. Chevrolet had produced an earlier car with a V8 in 1918 (Chevrolet Series D), which used a 36-horsepower overhead valve 288-cubic-inch V8, but it remained in production for only a year. In 1955, Chevrolet decided to fit its new car with an overhead valve V8 engine design, which was similar to the 1949 Oldsmobile "Rocket 88" V8 engine which was an earlier GM success. Chevy's new 265-cubic-inch overhead valve V8 was designed to be smaller, lighter, and more powerful than previous V8s in the auto industry, and would come to be known as the "Chevy small block".

However, the new small block engine in the '55 Chevy had some early teething issues. Some problems existed with cracked pistons, there was no integrated oil filter, so an external bypass filter was offered as a factory or dealer option. Those who did not order the engine with the "oil filter option" dealt with a high frequency of oil changes. Even with the oil filter option, only part of the oil was actually filtered (the oil going through the thermostat). This issue was corrected for the next year when a full flow oil filter system was added to the engine. Additionally, to keep performance and mileage levels high required spark plug and ignition points to be replaced on a regular basis. But other than those issues it was an easy to maintain engine. The small block Chevy V8 became so popular that Chevrolet still sells it today as an over the counter replacement engine or better known as a "crate engine". There have been various changes made to the engine to modernize it since its introduction in 1954 however the basic design of the original 265 remains in place.

Inicialmente, los ejecutivos de General Motors querían un auto totalmente nuevo para 1957, pero los retrasos de producción hicieron necesario el diseño 1955-1956 por un año más. Ed Cole, ingeniero jefe de Chevrolet, dictó una serie de cambios que aumentaron significativamente el coste del coche. Estos cambios incluyen un nuevo tablero de instrumentos, la capota cerrada, y la reubicación de los conductos de aire de las vainas de los faros, que se tradujo en el faro cromado distintivo que ayudó a que el Chevrolet '57 fuera un clásico. Ruedas de Catorce pulgadas reemplazan las ruedas de quince pulgadas de años anteriores para dar al coche una postura más baja, y una amplia reja se utilizó para dar al coche un aspecto más amplio de la parte delantera. Los ahora famosos '57 Chevrolet aletas en la cola fueron diseñados para duplicar la amplia mirada en la parte trasera. Recibieron modelos Bel Air con ajustes en oro: la rejilla, galones del guardabarros delantero, capó, y el guion tronco fueron prestados en oro anodizado. Los 1957 Chevrolet no tenían un medidor de presión de aceite o un voltímetro.​ El motor base era un 6 cilindros en línea llamado el Blue Flame Six. El motor estaba en marcha más suave que el V8. El carburador vino de un solo carburador de un barril.
