The Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe 265 V-8 Plus-Power is a second generation model in the Bel Air range manufactured by Chevrolet.
The second generation models of the Bel Air were outfitted with a new overall body style and a V8 engine option. The new models went into production from 1954 to 1957, and were replaced by the third generation models, which were only in production for a single year.
In 1956, the Bel Air received a face-lift with a wider front grille, two-tone bodyside treatments, and wheel openings. Popular Mechanics highlighted that only 7.4% of those that purchased the Bel Air did so with a seat belt option.[1]
