In 1959 Chevrolet introduced the Corvair. It was called unsafe at any speed by Ralph Nader and the poor man’s Porsche by many others. In 1972, a government study exonerated the Corvair, but that was about ten years too late.

Two Years Before The Classic ’55
NOTE – The model year of this car was changed from 1954 to 1953 based on a comment from a user Thanks to Hannibal for the heads up.
This is a photo of a 1953 Chevrolet Be Air. This particular one, photographed in Napa California is representative of the era. It is fully “dressed” with rear fender skirts, chrome headlight caps and the windshield canopy. The next model year represented a big style change. We will see some of those cars later in the series.

I remember this car. My wife and I were in Palo Alto visiting some friends and went in-line skating. I got a few unusual cars that day but this one was special. I remember, as a kid, sneaking into the Chevy dealer’s backyard and looking at the new models that arrived about this time each year. This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is a real classic and in remarkable condition.
