Description
I photographed this 1952 Chevy as the snow was melting after the snow storm on December 26th and 27th, the Chevrolets for 1950, Chevrolet came up with a revolutionary style that would set a pattern for decades, the Bel Air Hardtop was styled as a convertible with a non-detachable solid roof, models like this had been around since the 1920s, including early Chevrolets, with no degree of success, but the newly revised idea, sweeping the GM line from Chevrolet to Cadillac, had finally found its era. First year production reached only 76,662 as buyers cautiously tested the revised concept. The car cost $1,741 and weighed 3,225 pounds, front suspension was independent, named "knee-action", apart from the usual annual grille and trim changes the 1951–1952 Bel Air differs from the earlier 1950 model with introduction of the higher and squarer rear guards that were across the whole range.
