Chevrolet Bel Air had longer life in Canada
The Chevrolet Bel Air was manufactured from 1953 (we found a '53 Chevrolet Bel Air deserted in the woods with trees
growning around it -- sad lonely sight it was), anyway, back to the topic -- the Bel Air was manufactured from 1953 to 1975
in the United States, but in Canada, they kept making them until 1981. I found that tidbit of info at Wikipedia.
Bel Air gets a little sister, the Delray
The Bel Air did have its competition. During the 1950s (a glorious era) the Corvette and the El Camino also came
on to the roads. The Delray (210) materialized on the roads in 1954 as A 2-door cruiser that was less expensive than
the Bel Air, but the Delray took on a life of its own also. Three years later it took over the 150 and became the "oh,
so you can't afford a Bel Air" car.
