Some people call these a Bel Air but, it was not a distinct series of its own until the 1953 model year. This DELUXE was an EBAY junker with far too much glue used. The front suspension had to be cut from the frame and a straight axle made and added. I left the interior the way I got it. I stripped and repainted the engine and trans, modified the intake manifold to accept the tri-carb. setup, added HEI and an alternator. I scratch built the duel oil filters and mount as well as most of the exhaust. The only paint I added is the Grey primer to the panels between the bumpers and body. I just cleaned and polished the red paint it was sprayed and added Bare Metal Foil. The wheels and tires are from the spares bin.
