oldtimer Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Bel Air was the top of the line for the body style. Are you sure this isn't an A model? I can't tell from the photos, but there should be Bel Air script on the body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 .........oh, there were MANY of these in restored condition with engine mods .... nice colors and such, but I just love seeing cars at shows that STILL (no matter how rough) are in their original colors and fabrics, for some reason, that just means alot to me.... It is just the reason I took my 1997 Ford SHO from regular service back in 2000 and have used it for cruise nights and car shows only. All fabrics, leathers and paint are as they were from the factory. Being the technically second owner after a two year lease, I am at 19 years of ownership, I can honestly say, it has the ware and look of a two year old used car and in a few years, I can put antique plates on her 🍷. (man, that went by fast !!!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
