Lets Look at the Chevy Bel-Air The Bel-Air is a classy, slick car with a smooth, and sharp look. Its glossy paint and tinted windows make it the perfect ride to cruise around in.
Safety features of the Bel-Air The safety rating of the Bel-Air is very low. Although it has a sturdy frame, the walls and sheet metal fold like paper and can cause serious injury. This car would not be for everyday use, but more for a nice cruise around town. https://www.youtube.com/
