Chevrolet Diecast Car Models

Chevrolet was founded in 1911. In 1918 Chevrolet became a division of General Motors. Other Divisions of General Motors include Buick, Pontiac, Cadillac, Vauxhall, Oldsmobile and Hummer

For 1959 Chevrolet combined the comfort of a large car with the utility of a pickup truck with the Chevrolet El Camino. In 1960 Chevrolet introduced the Chevrolet Corvair with an air cooled, rear mounted engine. For 1963 completely restyled the bodywork for the Chevrolet Corvette producing the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. In 1954 Chevrolet launched the Chevrolet Malibu.

 In 1967 Chevrolet introduced the Chevrolet Blazer which  combined passenger car convenience and four wheel drive. In 1975 Chevrolet started selling the Chevrolet Chevette designed by Opel. By 1986 more than 2.5 million Chevrolet Chevettes had been sold. ( The Chevrolet Chevette was also marketed as the Pontiac Acadian and Vauxhall Chevette). The Chevrolet Nova which went on sale in 1985 was largely based on the Toyota Corolla and Sprinter.

1957 Chevy Bel Air

The Chevrolet Bel Air was an automobile series produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors from 1953?75. From 1950?52, hardtops in Chevrolet's premium Deluxe model range were designated with the Chevrolet Bel Air name, but it was not a distinct series of its own. The Chevrolet Bel Air continued in production in Canada through the 1981 model year.

In 1953 Chevrolet renamed its series' and the Chevrolet Bel Air name was applied to the premium model range. Two lower series, the 150 and 210, also emerged. In 1955, Chevrolets gained a V8 engine option.

In 1955, Chevrolet's full-size model received new styling that earned it the "Hot One" designation by enthusiasts. Unlike Ford and Plymouth, Chevrolet's styling was considered crisp and clean. Chevy Bel Airs came with features found on cars in the lower models ranges plus interior carpet, chrome headliner bands on hardtops, chrome spears on front fenders, chrome window moldings, and full wheel covers. Chevy Bel Airs were further distinguished by the Chevrolet Bel Air name script in gold lettering.
 

The '55, '57, and especially '56 Chevy Bel Airs are among the most recognizable American cars of all time; well-maintained examples (especially coupes and convertibles) are highly sought after by enthusiasts. Roomy, fuel-efficient, and with tastefully restrained use of tail fins and chrome, they are seen by many as vastly superior to the oversized and overdecorated full-size models that would roll out of Detroit for the next 20 years.
