are we sure this is a bel-air? if i had to guess, the lack of chrome makes me think it may be a one-fifty or a two-ten. comments anyone? |

Not a One-Fifty (they were not available as hardtop), but since all the trim has disappeared during the 'restauration' it might be indeed a Two-Ten Sport Coupe [2154] or a Bel Air Sport Coupe [2454] There were about 8 times more Bel Airs, though... |

I suppose it really doesn't matter what the exact model is. its a hot car, that's what really counts. |

Watched this "On Demand", and I saw at least 2 yellow Bel Airs. One car has chrome inside the removed grill area and one doesn't. Another convertible 57 is a derelict on the side of the road. Many late 60's and early 70's car are visable in the backround. Not too believable for 1959, but that's the American International Pictures way! -- Last edit: 2011-03-01 21:33:56 |

The beat up yellow Chevy sat in a field in south Georgia for 25 years after filming. It was for sale about 8 years ago in Atlanta. It was in bad shape,the guy wanted $4,700.00 for the body. I kicked it around but I did not buy it. I confirmed the authenticity of the car. The car with the chrome engine compartment was only used in the engine scenes. This movie was filmed in and around Macon Georgia. It is a true cult classic and it helped make me love 57 Chevys. I have pictures of the car taken when I looked at it. |

Does anyone know where this car is today, I'm interested in purchasing it. |

It has the long trim pieces atop the rear fenders, so definitely a Bel Air. |

Thanks, 62imperial ![]() I'll add this to my mental database. |

Does anyone know what sort of engine is in this car? It's difficult to tell from the pictures. |
◊ 2014-09-29 01:51 |
It was once equip with V8 engine as the V badge shown at the bonnet and the boot. |
◊ 2014-10-13 15:29 |
Yes, I know that it had a v8 originally and I guess it also has a v8 in it in the movie. But what v8? What kind of engine setup is it we see in the pictures? Is it a turbo we see or is it some kind of supercharger? That square box on the top, what is it? Would be interesting to know if anyone has any idea on what sort of engine they used in this moviecar. |

Did they use nitrous oxide? |
◊ 2018-04-16 18:50 |
in dialog says "a little smoke here and there" but guess it's that stuff -- Last edit: 2018-04-16 18:58:24 |

They would have been some of the first to use it. Link to "www.hotrod.com" http://www.thor-racing.co.uk/History-133.asp |
