This car was the first Belair to go into the Belair Museum in Gilroy California. Over $40,000 USD was spent in the restoration of this totally rustfree car. There cannot be a nicer coloured, nicer equipped or in as nice of condition anywhere as this 52 Chevy Belair that is being offered.

The beautiful Bel Air hardtop line debuted in 1950 and was an instant success. After all, when you have a totally dependable car and make it a top style model, Chevy was sure to have a winner.
This beautiful car was sold new in California. Later in its life there, a gentleman established a Bel Air museum and this was the first of 18 Bel Airs to go into the museum as show pieces.
Over $40,000 was spent at that time to make this restoration a show-stopper. Its stunning Bittersweet Orange bottom colour, topped with a Beach White roof makes you just step back to look and lust over it. Matching colours, done just like the factory compliment the interior. The headliner with all its chrome strips is magnificent.
Top it off with a powerglide automatic transmission, pin striped wheels, front & rear bumper overlays, custom radio, chrome splash shields, clock, etc.. and the rarest of all accessories: a coolant water filter under the hood (genuine GM accessory for that year and extremely rare).
