See the USA in Your Chevrolet Never was Chevrolet’s motto more realized than the beginning of the 1950’s. From 1950 to 1953 Chevrolet was the undisputed #1 in U.S. car sales. In 1953 Chevy abandoned the now old-looking fastback body style and used a completely redesigned Body by Fisher. The new luxury Bel Air series featured 2-tone body and interior, new curved wraparound windshield, rear skirts and a repowered Blue Flame 6, now up to 115 horsepower with Powerglide transmission.
