1955 Chevy Bel Air Coupe (Ertl Elite) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
It's no wonder the '55 Chevrolet BelAir has become the rolling stock of the American dream. The all-new body style wowed the public with its clean lines and the love affair continues to this day. What an extreme styling departure the '55 was from the 1954 models, but even more radical for Chevy, famous for its reliable Stoveball Six, was the all-new 265 cubic inch V8, optional across the line-up. The line-up began with the no-frills One-Fifty Series, followed by the Two-Ten models, and the top-of-the-line Bel Air, offered as a two- or four-door sedan, sport coupe, convertible, and station wagon. Today the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, like blue jeans, is an American icon known the world around, while the small block Chevy, its basics still unchanged, continues to rock 'n roll!

The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is arguably the most recognizable automobile in American cultural history. Its combination of jet-age styling, the new fuel-injected V8 option, and perfect proportions made it an instant icon. Over 1.5 million Chevrolets were sold in 1957, and the Bel Air hardtop in particular has appeared in countless films, television shows, and artworks as the definitive symbol of 1950s American optimism.
