    Would love to see some pictures of your 52 Bel Air - either mild or wild custom style.

    Thanks

    By '52 Bel Air, you're speaking of a hardtop. Right?

    If your looking for ideas of how to kustomize your Chev,would
    get more photos by including all 49-52 instead of just one year and
    model.

    51chevysled, I'll cut you some slack. I've only seen a couple of them... and I can't remember ever seeing a 49 ht, only 50 & up. Seems like I saw something somewhere that said 50 was really the 1st year for the BelAirs. Don't quote me, tho!

    Now, back to the topic... lessee some pics of hardtop Chevies! Anybody got one of Larry Ernst's car handy? (Either incarnation of the original... or the more recent clone... or the restored original?). How bout the LaJolla Chevy?
     
  13. Here's one from Carnut.com to back you up Slide...

    Funny thing about Carnut, at least for the few '50 HT pics, about half aren't '50s. Here's another HT...

    Sorry, can't resize 'em and repost from work.
