had actually upgraded its lineup totally, and simplified its sedans to three
models: a base-level 150; mid-trim 210; and the state-of-the-art 240 Bel Air.
The Bel Air was a four-model line and was hugely effective
given that it cost only a little more than the base and mid-level trims.

From
1950 through 1954, all Chevrolets, consisting of the Bel Air, boasted a straight six under the hood.
But it was the intro of the famous small-block V-8
along with the classically styled 1955 Chevys that made the next three years classics.
Readily available as 2- and four-door sedans, coupe and convertible, wagon and even a two-door wagon called the Nomad, these “shoebox Chevys” were extremely successful.

That ‘57
Chevy boasted larger and distinctively styled tailfins,
a special grille, and an available fuel-injected V-8
engine. The lightweight and relatively compact size of the mid-50s
Chevys made them favorites among enthusiasts, and are
amongst the most desired designs by collectors.
The 1958 model year boasted big modifications for the Chevy lineup, literally, as the automobiles gained size and weight.

<span>Chevy likewise dropped the numerical designations,</span> with the Del Ray at the bottom, Biscayne in the
middle and Bel Air slotted right listed below the Impala.
A comprehensive restyle in 1959 cast the Bel Air
a little additional down as the Impala acquired in stature and body styles.
This was the pattern for the next numerous years, with the only standout Bel Air
the 1962 Sport Coupe, which included a 409 cu.-in.

By the
third generation presented in 1966, the Biscayne was
at the bottom and the Bel Air in the middle, and in 1969 it
became sedan and wagon just when the two-door was dropped.
When Chevy revamped its huge sedans in 1971 the Bel Air was at the
bottom sounded, and the name was dropped altogether when Chevy
decided to call all of its huge sedans Impala in 1976.

I have a sensation that this will be among the more questionable Meh Cars and
truck Mondays I have actually done, however I believe it’s one that needs to
take place. Uncommonly for Meh Car Monday, I’m going to be focusing on a cars and truck with not simply a substantial following, but one that
is probably a real automobile icon.
br><span>It’s the 1955-1957 Chevrolet</span> Bel Air.
Everybody, everybody, settle! I can hear you. You’re upset.
You’re specific that all of those posters with Bel Airs in front
of 1950s diners simply can’t be lying to uswe have
laws to avoid that sort of thing, do not we?Is it even legal to make t-shirts covered in meh cars?
It can’t be right? All those old cars and truck collectors can’t be wrong?
Can they?Of course they can.
br>It’s
not good. It’s just sort of ... there. And I preserve, in the context of mid-to-late 1950s
American cars and trucks, the Chevrolet Bel Air was
truly simply a meh automobile. Sure, the Bel Air managed to do something unprecedented in mehcardom, which’s to somehow defy
its intrinsic mehness to become something more.

All
of its main design characteristics were things other
cars had as well, and were middle-of-the-road examples of them.
It had a huge, eggcrate grille (complete width
by 1956), huge chrome bumpers, two-tone paint, modest tailfins, and all the heavy chrome jewelry of the period.

There’s nothing truly striking or standout about its style, and as
such it’s frequently near the vague image of what individuals picture when they hear “1950s vehicle,” typically
in turquoise-and-white.

Sure, a little
number got engines with an early fuel-injection system, and the
power numbers on a few of the V8 alternatives were respectable, everything was played really, extremely safe and no engineering dangers or innovations were taken. It was, truly, simply fine.
Commercials of the period were hyperbolic as all ‘50s ads were, like this one where
a man’s ghost is chewed out about the “sassy” performance and the “traditional appeal” of
the ‘57 Chevy, along with the promise of “genuine chrome:” These Chevys from the age were certainly on par with the lower-end
offerings from the other huge American carmakers, Ford or Chrysler or Nash or any of them,
but it’s perplexing regarding why and how these Chevys in some way got their iconic status and not, say,
a 1955-1957 Ford or Nash.

The accessibility and ubiquity of Bel Airs made
them simple to bring back and keep going, and neighborhoods of owners grew, and on and on, which simply made for a self-reliant feedback loop.

These Bel Airs were decent, if normally typical American vehicles of
the 1950s, but they were an excellent worth and did their job well.

Bel Airs at a car show today have become clichs; can anyone keep in mind the last time they were really excited to see a restored Bel Air?
Sure, the two-door wagons are cool, and any unspoiled cars and truck from that long back has some interest, but it says
a lot when a timeless cars and truck generates a yawn.

Maybe this truly isn’t the cars
and truck’s fault itself, it’s since of a specific laziness of humanity.

Something works, it’s unchallenging but appealing, so, what’s the harm in doing it again? And again, and once again, and once again. There’s other renowned cars and trucks with big followings that
appear over and over once again, naturally, like Mustangs or
Corvettes, or air-cooled Volkswagens, however I think those cars and trucks, and even other vehicles with substantial followings, all have a bit
more happening with them to justify their getting away the meh trap due to large exposure that the Bel Air just never had,
ever.
br>But the Bel Air has in some way managed to go even beyond
something that’s just a fantastic starter classic and has fallen off into an abyss
of loaded with overbearing tradition, obviousness, those, and, let’s face it, monotony.
The Bel Air was decent automobile, traditional and maybe
fairly uninspired, but driven down the dull meh blandway to
the parking lot of Meh’s Restaurant, looking like a sparkling chrome suppository sprinkled with neon, by the experienced but incurious hands
of many Bel Air-smitten individuals, each doing the very same thing to the same cars and trucks, and showing them in the exact same method, often at the same time, in the very same location.
