The Vintage Chevrolet Club Of America Shows Off Rain-Soaked Detroit Iron In Seattle

When commenter of the super-stars, Startlton_Heston, offered up some photos from the Lee Johnson Chevrolet 75th Anniversary Car Show we assumed there would be a dozen or so photos to throw into a gallery. Little did we know, although we probably should have assumed, Mr. Heston was insane enough (in the best way) to send us more than one hundred lovingly taken photos detailing 69 years of Chevy metal. Being Seattle, the VCCA meet was a little rainy. A report from the Omega Man as well as some more photos below the jump.

Latest by Starlton Heston, Gushing post-mother: @avusone: Thanks for the clarification! I noted it as '68 cause I hawk-eyed the seatbelt inside and it had 1968 on it and I took it for the model year...??? HRRRMMM @OldeEnglishD: Yea, the jacked up 57 was surprising to me, more »

PCH, Tom Waits Edition: '58 Bel Air or Yellow Corvette?

Here we are at Project Car Hell #100, and it even comes on a Friday! Yesterday we saw the Katrina-soaked '63 Bentley edge out a hairsbreadth victory over the not-so-complete '52 Benz, and today we're going to shift gears in the theme department and pick two cars referenced by Jalopnik-Approved™ musician Tom Waits. This idea comes courtesy of my brother-in-law, the owner of the deathless Toyota truck we saw a while back, so I guess I'll need to give him a PCH Tipster T-shirt in spite of the fact that he isn't even a Jalopnik commenter. I wasn't able to find a 1958 monkeyshit brown Buick Super, the Duster "trying to change my tune" has no year specified, and everyone thinks "Ol' 55" is an Eagles song... but not to worry- plenty of good choices left, including these two:

Latest by Hello_Newman: They are both financial disasters, the 58 will never bring 57 money, and anything you put into the corvette you'll never see again. I would honestly find either of these cars already resto-modded or restored and wait to find a more »

We're Kinda Confused By The Fins, Chevy

So wait, does this mean Chevy's bringing back the Bel Air in specific, or merely fins in general? We're so confused — this billboard's warped our fragile little minds.

Bel Camino!

What happens when you combine two California icons — the tony SoCal neighborhood of Bel Air and El Camino Real (aka The King's Highway)? The Bel Camino, of course. If Chevy had introduced the ElCo in '57 instead of two years later, this is probably how it would've looked. Excepting, of course that doltish Bowtie rear window. They should've just put Center Line Convo Pros on there, tubbed it and airbrushed "The Heartbeat of America" on the tailgate. We mean, if you're gonna do it, do it. You've already thrown subtlety out the window. [Thanks to Jason for the tip.] More »

2006 Woodward Dream Pre-Cruise: The 1956 Chevy Bel Air Nomad


We've left one Starbucks already this morning due to an ant infestation, and as we were on our way to a non-infested coffee shop / wifi spot to resume our bloggorhea-like coverage of the hoopla leading up to the 2006 Woodward Dream Cruise, we happened upon this little gem on the corner of 13 Mile Rd and Woodward Avenue. It's a beautiful restored 1956 Chevy Bel Air Nomad complete with an Edelbrock engine. Although the Nomad first appeared as a Corvette-based concept vehicle in 1954, the two-door wagon was assigned to the Bel Air series and given a unique body and trim specifically for the model. And oh, that trim — especially the fins. As the owner explained to us: More »
