BelAir


This is a 1957 Chevy BelAir. I always wanted one of these when I was younger, with some notions of speeding down a street with the tires smoking, with my girlfriend tucked in by my side, and my reputation on the line.

Tonight I talked to my Dad about this car and it turns out the BelAir is to Chevrolet as the Civic is to Honda. This was the economy class of Chevrolet.

It feels so great when nostalgia gets maimed by reality.
