Man, what a beauty. That blue makes the car to look like a gem. Beautiful indeed. The one thing I liked very much was the trunk; you can store away a Volkswagen Beatle without a problem or maybe you can use it a a motor home sleeper.

My late Uncle had one of these. He had it in the early 2000's, and his was a one owner car belonging to a doctor. It looked almost identical to the car in the video. It was a 216 cubed 3 speed stick. The drivetrain went goodbye, and we installed a 300 hp, 350 cubed V-8 backed with a Saginaw 4 speed. A 10 bolt rear from a Nova. Just a nice car.

An aunt and two uncles had these Bel Airs. My two uncles drove theirs until 1955. My aunt drove hers until 1965. Those Blue Flame sixes served them well.

Thank you young man, your enthusiasm for older cars is admirable.

My mom’s first car was just like this; a beautiful Chevy Bel Air in a two-tone black and white. Absolutely beautiful. The lines and roof design are spectacular.

Wow, that's a really nice Chevy. My early memory of our family car was a 1955 Chevrolet Belair Sport Coupe and my favorite place to ride was in the middle of the back seat leaning forward to be just behind Mom and Dad.

I drove a 1951 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop (Alas it was PowerGlide) during my last year at Woodland High School. Your video is much appreciated.

(The clock in my car was actually a wind-up)

All the best (and Thanks)

One of the nicest 1951 Chevrolets I've ever seen ! All restored to " original" as well . There aren't many of those left, so that one should bring a nice premium on today's market !

Good morning. I have had two ‘51 Chevys in my 68 years of life — a ‘51 Chevy Business Coupé and a ‘51 Chevy Styleline Special. I just love the ‘51 model. Before moving down here to Querétaro, México, from Dallas, Texas, where I had lived all my life, I sold my 1950 Chevrolet Styleline DeLuxe Bel Air. I wish now that I had shipped it down to Mexico, but the Bel Air went to a good home in Connecticut. I hope to find next year a 1951 Chevy that I can have shipped down here. You did a great video — I learned some things about the ‘51 Chevy I didn’t know! Greetings from Joseph (Jody) Quillian.

I bought a 1952 2dht when I was 15. The first time I saw it, many years before, I thought it to be the prettiest car I'd ever seen. Four or five other kids in my small town got to own it before me but I was very proud when it was my turn at ownership. I sold the car my junior year of high school and bought a '56 Ford 2dht, then bought a '57 Chevy hardtop at the end of same year. In my 30's I bought a completely dismantled 1951 Chevy 2dht. I cut frame off at the firewall, grafted on a '75 Nova subframe, installed its 350 engine, transmission and differential. I then painted it, brown with a beige top, and installed an interior to match my original '52 Chevy. It brought back many good memories.

I really laughed at your comments about bias ply tires. Yes, they weren’t as good as radials, but no one at the time would know the difference. We all drove cars with bias ply tires, drum brakes, solid front axle suspension, no power steering or power brakes etc.
did we think it sucked? No. That’s just the way it was. We learned to drive with cars that way. They got the job done, we got where we needed to go. Most of the time. And repairs were simple. Maybe you needed to get the engine rebuilt after 60, 000 miles, but parts were cheap and any mechanic could get the job done in a day or two.

A friend of mine just thanked me for helping him with his car collection by giving me one of these..it runs and drives so I'm excited about finding time to mess with it

[frankwood]

Daanng!!!.. This is a real solid beautiful Chevy Car. Made to look good & last forever with loads if chrome. A great American Classic

[steves]

the BelAir was top of the line...truly stylish. My dad had the absolute lowest trim version, an ex-cop car 150 club coupe. it was as basic as basic could get, but I think it had the truck engine in it, definitely at least the truck clutch. at least it wasn't the business couple without a backseat. Whichever trim you got, these were extremely well-built cars and a big value for the money. But, as with all the manufacturers, the market dictated style over function, and by the mid 50's the material and assembly quality took a nosedive, although we were all now driving stylish and high-performing V8 powered cars...which isn't a bad thing in of itself

I had one a 4 door deluxe with the 2 speed automatic it was my first car!

I'm glad you show us how the windows go down, especially in the back. Who would think they would "Roll/hinge" backwards like that. I would have thought they would just go straight down into the back panel.

Beautiful car my dad owned those type😊

I think this "What's it like" series is museum archive quality that tells us what we made in automobile history.
