Description

Neon dreams of 1951. Chevrolet DeLuxe. This photoshop rendition is actually a most perfect black enamel jewel, recently photographed along Paseo Del Mar in San Pedro, CA.
I will give kudos to the owner if I hear back from him!

In 1949, all the Chevrolets got the first new styling after the war. The Deluxe was the brand new upper-end model for Chevrolet. The cheapest Deluxe was the Deluxe Styleline 6-passenger sedan, priced at $1,492.

Starting in 1950, changes included a luxuriously-appointed hardtop coupe, called the Bel Air. The 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 the Deluxe series, as well as a wide range of two-tone paint schemes.
The other change was the availability of Powerglide, a two-speed automatic transmission, exclusively in the Deluxe and Bel Air models. It was powered by a 235-cubic inch six-cylinder engine developing 105 horsepower. Models sold with the standard three-speed manual transmission got the usual 216.5-cubic inch engine, developing 92 horsepower.
