The 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air was a part of the first generation Bel Air’s. The Chevy Bel Air name did appear as part of the 1949 to 1952 Chevrolet Styleline models. During that time the Bel Air model was part of the Styleline Deluxe cars. In 1953 the Chevy Bel Air came out as a new series rather than just an individual model.

The first post World War Two designs came along in 1949. This was the case with almost all automakers since it took a bit of time after the war’s end to nail down new styling. The new Chevrolet Styleline models were a big departure from the 1946 to 1948 cars which still had the Pre War look.

The 1953 and 1954 Chevy Bel Airs came out with more modern styling. Fender protrusions shrunk, as did overall heights. The engine gained aluminum pistons and full-pressure lubrication. The main differences between the 1953 and 1954 models were a more powerful engine and a new oval grille for the 54 models. Two tone colors were pretty popular for both the 1953 and 54 models.

The 1954 Chevy Bel Air was really an evolution of the 1949 new post war design. Beginni49
