1954 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible
History:
I purchased this car in 1989 from a man in Colorado - it has been in our family for 27 years. I flew with a friend to Colorado and drove it home to San Diego. I used it as my daily driver around town in the San Diego area for several years before undertaking a three year long frame off restoration which was completed in 1995.
This car was built to match the Pink and White car in the 1954 Chevrolet Convertible Body by Fisher advertisement from the July 1954 edition of the Saturday Evening Post, and Life Magazine. See: https://www.flickr.com/photos/autohistorian/5720820352/ There are many internet sites with this ad, and original copies can be purchased on ebay.
We located the place where the Body by Fisher ad was photographed in Palm Springs CA and took a picture there. This is the entrance to the famous Smoke Tree Ranch. See attached pictures.
The features of the car are:
