Description

The car was purchased in 1960 by Edith Andersson, a wife from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. The car was only driven by her and her family from May to October. The car was then stored for the rest of the year. Mrs. Andersson owned the car for 19 years, until 1979, when she sold it to her nephew, with only 8,000 miles on the clock. This beautiful vehicle was purchased in 1997 by Chevrolet expert Bob Balzart, who kept it for a few years before selling it to the current Swedish owner, who imported it to Sweden.
The car was featured in the magazine Bilsport Classic nr 8 in the year 2000.

Facts about the model

Citerat från conceptcarsz.com:
1960 Chevrolet Bel Air Series
"Chevrolet was North America's best-selling automaker for much of the 1950s and 1960s. They had introduced major changes to its post-war lineup in 1949, rationalizing the range into two Series - Special (basic) and Deluxe - both of which featured Styleline (notchback) and Fleetline (fastback) body styles. This distinction would continue through the end of the 1952 season when the fastback model and the 'Styleline' name were both dropped. The only engine used to power the Chevrolet's at this time was the 'Stovebolt,' 216.5 CID overhead-valve six, that continued for many years without change prior to the introduction of GM's Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission in 1951 when a 235.5ci (3.9-litre) version became available.

The Bel Air name was originally applied to a two-door hardtop coupe version of the Styleline Deluxe in 1950, signifying the top-of-the-range luxury trim level, commencing in 1953, rather than a separate and distinct body style. The 1960 lineup included six Bel Airs, available with a bewildering multitude of engine, transmission, and convenience options allowing customers to customize a vehicle direct from the factory that was tailored specifically to his or her taste.

The iconic Chevrolet Bel Air continued with very few changes for the 1960 season. Standard equipment included all the features found on the entry-level Biscayne model, plus front foam cushions. Biscayne features included dual sun visors, electric wipers, cigarette lighter, and front armrests.

The BelAir was available as a 2- and 4-door sedan, 2- and 4-door hardtop sport coupe, or as a Kingswood station wagon with seating for either 6 or 9 passengers. Pricing began at $2,385 for the 2-door sedan and rose to $2490 for the 2-door hardtop sport coupe. A six-cylinder engine came standard with a slew of V8 engines and transmissions. The 235.5 cubic-inch, overhead-valve six had four main bearings, hydraulic valve lifters, a Rochester two-barrel carburetor, and delivered 135 horsepower at 4,000 RPM. V8 output ranged from 185 to as high as 320 horsepower.

Changes for the 1960 model year included a shield medallion on the front fenders that split the words 'Bel Air.' A rear panel was horizontally grooved and outlined with brightwork and a single rear quarter extension molding was added that flew towards the back.

For the 1960 model year, Chevrolet produced 1,391,485 vehicles""
