The Chevy Bel Air from the 1960s may be easy to confuse with the Impala due to their incredibly similar styling. Although the Impala had dethroned the Bel Air as Chevy's flagship full-size vehicle back in the late 50s, the Bel Air still remained an important full-size vehicle for Chevy at the time. The Bel Air offered basically everything that came with the Impala in a more affordable package. It was offered in coupe, convertible, sedan, and wagon forms, with the main focus of this post being on the wagon. The 1965-66 Chevy Bel Air was available with five different engine options, specifically an entry-level inline-six and four different V8s, paired to either a three-speed manual, four-speed manual, two-speed Powerglide automatic, or three-speed Turbo Hydramatic automatic. In addition, the 1965-66 Bel Air wagon could seat up to nine passengers. The example featured here is powered by a 327 cu V8 and is outfitted with smaller wheels and an adjustable suspension to make it a lowrider. Overall, I’ve seen this specific Bel Air wagon at various different car shows before, but it is fantastic and very cool, especially since I have a soft spot for fast and classic wagons.
