Product Details Temp out of stock
Is there a superlative that hasn't been used when trying to describe this American automotive icon? "Classic" is the term most often heard, but it is often used unfairly to describe only the car's obvious aesthetic charm. The Chevrolet Bel Air's beauty was more than just 'skin deep' as an attractive array of engine and transmission options were available. Chief among these was the historic Ram Jet fuel-injected V-8, which was one of the first engines to produce one horsepower per cubic inch, at 283 cid and 283 hp.

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.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air in Gold is produced by Ertl to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
