America’s favorite car remained very popular for 1954, as the Bel Air name was applied to the entire top-line series. Attractive color accents could be selected for the roof and rear quarter panels, while the optional Powerglide automatic transmission allowed for hours of effortless travel. The host of new options available for that year resulted in Chevrolet’s boast that 161 different examples could be built and virtually no two would be the same.

This striking Bel Air Sport Coupe was restored eight years ago, with new paint, chrome, polished stainless, and interior upholstery added. The engine and Powerglide transmission were also inspected and rebuilt where needed. This Californian car was built in Los Angeles and is equipped with power steering, power brakes, a pushbutton AM radio, a heater, and an electric clock. Fifteen-inch Coker Classic wide whitewall tires complement the full wheel covers and rear fender skirts. The Indian Ivory over Turquoise paint is even more attractive and complements its matching upholstery. While the interior and fully equipped trunk compartment have been retained in meticulous condition, the chassis and engine compartment shows some light signs of road use and enjoyment.

For its next owner, this may be the perfect Chevrolet to tour the U.S.A.
