The 1954 Chevy Belair.
My step father, Bob Miller has owned this 1954 Chevy Belair for some thirty years. The car set in his garage waiting to be returned to the original luster and grandeur. As often happens in life, other commitments occur and one has to prioritize.Life was no different for Bob. Last spring the restoration process finally began to take shape.
Bob and, my wife, Laurie with the '54 Chevy.
Laurie headin' out to the "malt shop".
The car has around 26,000 original miles on it. The interior is as it was the day the car was first driven from the car dealership. All the needs to restore that original luster was to repaint the body and clean some of the chrome parts. A few needed to be re-chromed. Cars from the 1950 era often used plenty of chrome.
"Grease" is the word or memories of Sha Na NA!
A few other things were done to the car. Some things from setting idle all those years needed to be replaced. For instance the tires were dried out, as well as, other rubber mouldings. John Baker of Whitesburg did the custom work, Great job!
Laurie really enjoyed setting in a piece of history. I hope you enjoy the photos of this classic car of days past. They “just don’t make ’em like this anymore”!
