The cheapest Deluxe was the Deluxe Styleline 6-passenger sedan, costing $1,492.[5]Brakes were 11-inch drums.[7]It had full instrumentation.[7]The front suspension had stabilizers.[7] Many things changed starting in 1950, starting with a luxuriously-appointed hardtop coupe, called theBel Air. The new Bel Air including upgraded cord and leather-grain vinyl trim (available in a choice of several two-tone schemes), full carpeting and other appointments not available in even the Deluxe series, and a wide range of two-tone paint schemes. The 1950-1952 Bel Airs—during these early years, the Bel Air was officially part of the Deluxe range—shared only their front sheetmetal ahead of the A-pillar with the rest of the range. The windshield, doors, glass, and trunk were common with the Styleline convertible, but the roof, rear quarters and rear windows were unique. The other change was the availability ofPowerglide, a two-speedautomatic transmission, exclusively in the Deluxe and Bel Air models. It was powered by a 235-cubic inchsix-cylinder enginedeveloping 105 horsepower and had a 3.55:1 rear differential; the engine went on to become the "Blue Flame six." Models sold with the standard three-speed manual transmission got the usual 216.5-cubic inch engine, developing 92 horsepower MEMORY LANE VIDEOS CLICK TO VIEW |
