Reminiscent of the legendary 1955–57 Chevy Bel Air, the 2002 Bel Air Concept Vehicle recaptures the spirit and elegance of the original with refreshing new style and innovative performance.
Drawing on the expressive flair of the original, this new concept vehicle revamps several Bel Air design cues. Exterior features include a prominent egg-crate grille, distinctive headlamps and a gas filler cap hidden in the taillamp. Interior features include a simple yet elegant passenger compartment with twin-element instrument panel, steering column-mounted gearshift and bench seats.

Powered by an all-aluminum Vortec 3500 turbocharged in-line five-cylinder concept engine that delivers up to 315 horsepower and 315 lb.-ft. of torque, it's mated to a Hydra-matic 4L60-E electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission. But the real excitement comes at the push of button. Located on the steering wheel, a button activates the powertrain control module to trigger a more aggressive spark and fuel calibration for maximum horsepower. The result? You can go from an efficient five-cylinder to a high performance powerhouse — all in the same package.
