[align=center]The Chevrolet Nova is one of the muscle cars with less esthetic looks ever made. This particular car disappeared into the garage and wasn’t seen again for 10 years. It had a little rust on the quarters, and a few dings and dents, but all the molding and trim were intact. The transformation work has begun, and the result you can see it in the images.
[/align][/align][align=center]Under the bonnet, the 1971 Chevrolet Nova Street Racer gets a modified 6.9 liter V8 engine, that never was tested to see the maximum output, but that helps the car to make the 1/4 miles in 10.42 seconds and have a top speed of 206 km/h.

1955 Chevrolet Bel Air[/align][align=center][:-]
[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]
Introduced in 1950, the Chevrolet Bel Air was a car that spoke of youth and freedom. It was available with a six-cylinder engine, offering 115 hp. It was flashy, bearing a two-tone paint scheme as well as a beautifully tailored, two-tone interior. As the ’50s progressed, the Bel Air continued to thrive as the ’All-American car’; it increased in magnitude, and became available with a variety of engine sizes, including the V-8, which was normally reserved for the powerful Corvette.

Chevrolet renamed its series in 1953 and the Bel Air name was applied to the premium model range. In 1955, Chevrolets gained a V8 engine option,new styling that earned it the "Hot One" designation by enthusiasts. Models were further distinguished by the Bel Air name script in gold lettering.

The car 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.

The Bel Airs were among the most recognizable American cars of all time.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 ro

 

just to make this clear the story is talking abotu teh 1950 cars being the year that the belair name plate was itroduced. but the car in teh phot is a 55 chevy belair.

 

True. The name "BelAir" was used before 1955 by Chevy.

Some not so true info of the article on the '55 Chevy. First it was the first year for the V8 engine from Chevy. The 265. Any Vette before 1955 came with a 6 cylinderunder the hood and even after that a lot of Vettes came with 6 cylinders, not V8s.

In 1955/56/57 there were actuallythree (3)2-door Wagons from Chevy.
The Nomad (BelAir series)
The 210 Handyman (2100 series or 210s)
The 150 Handyman (1500 series or 150s)

A lot of people now days mistake the 210 & 150 2-door Wagons for Nomads but they are NOT a Nomad Wagon.

Besides being longer then the '55 & 56s the '57 is also lower. The cowl section on the '57s is lower so you can notuse the front windshield of a '55 or '56 in a '57.The '57 front windshield is a one year ONLY piece cause in 1958 the bodies completely changed.

1957 was also the first year for the 283 V8 engine and also fuel injection. The fuelie 283s were advertised as a 1 horsepower per 1 cubic inch or a 283 horse 283 engine.
