This classic beauty is a wonderful presentation of Chevrolet's golden age of motoring. In a very desirable two-tone finish with hardtop coupe design, this 1950 all-original Styleline Deluxe Belair coupe was one of the best for its post-war redesign and it led the way for top-of-the-line models for Chevrolet. This 1950 is also the birth year of the famous Belair. These early hardtops were created by Chevrolet starting with the convertible bodies and welding a hardtop on to them. Very unusual way to build a car with a roof. Unique three piece rear window and very small C pillars were different than the rest of the coupe offerings in 1950.
Powered by an inline 216 cu/in 90 hp “Thrift-Master” 6 cylinder engine topped with a new carburetor, it is mated to a 3 speed manual transmission housing a new clutch. This car glides down the road effortlessly on its 115” wheelbase. Recent updates/repairs include a new rear main seal, a new oil pan and valve cover gaskets. It is equipped with new front disc power brakes, 5 new radial tires, an electric ignition, a new battery, dual exhaust, a new radiator, electric fuel pump and a completely new front suspension. The exterior is painted in its original two-tone combination of Grecian Gray and Falcon Gray on the roof. All paint is in good condition.
The luxurious original interior boasts a clock (inoperable), AM radio (works), push-button start, and classic original chrome ribbed head liner which is beautifully preserved, a steering column with manual shifter and signal light switch and full instrumentation. Full carpeting and original red leather seating and panoramic windows let you enjoy the drive.
