The Bel Air is not a car that really needs any sort of introduction. Admired by car enthusiasts around the world, hung on the walls of anyone with a love of American vehicles, and making its way into the script of many films, the Bel Air was an icon, but none of them stole the show as much as the third generation, as this 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air belongs to. By now, Chevy had realized that the Bel Air had become one of its most famous vehicles, and the third generation had a lot to live up to, which it very much did.

Exterior and Interior

Let us set the scene for this Bel Air. The year was 1958, it's currently a recession year, but Chevy didn't care, they were the No.1 maker of automobiles, and at the center of this success was the third generation Bel Air. With its long, sleek body, low stance, and super-retro design, this unique vehicle stole the show. Chevy didn't need loads of chrome to grab attention, they relied on quad headlights, fan-shaped alcoves, and two-tone body colors. speaking of two-tone, check out the candy apple red and white combination on this 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air. It goes beautifully with the set of whitewall tires installed. You want retro? you've got it. Of course, luxury and comfort weren't overlooked within the cabin, from plush, color-matched leather door panels and bench-style seats to a steering wheel unlike the automotive world will ever see again, the Bel Air was certainly the full package. This specific example even has an updated electronic dashboard, and a modern Kenwood head unit with CD, USB and AUX inputs sets the scene for modern music formats to be enjoyed.
