In 1950 Chevrolet introduced its top-of-the-line model, the Bel Air, which soon
became the car of the rock-and-roll generation. If you mention "classic cars" to
most people, the image of a 1955, '56, or '57 Chevy instantly comes to mind. The
iconic 1957 Chevy Bel Air, with its unmistakable look and dramatic tailfins, has
become one of the most recognizable and popular American cars of all time.
Chevrolet first offered factory fuel-injection for its V-8 in 1957, and boasted
that it was the first American production car to provide one horsepower per cubic
inch (283 cu. in./ 283 hp). With few mechanics of the time experienced in fuel-injection,
most buyers didn't purchase the option, making it very rare today.
