The 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air was a pleasing design with its rounded corners.

It was lower, longer, wider and stronger and all new when compared to the popular 1957 Chevrolet fins.

Definitely a fresh new design. The trend toward a lower, wider and longer body began in the mid-1950s and the 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air had an actual custom, low rider look to it. This was especially true for the Impala and Bel Air 2 door coupes.

Approximately 600,000 Impala's and Belair's were built.

General Motors new 1958 Chevy Bel Air was a real eye opener and that's a fact. Never had Chevrolet packed so much sharp engineering, so many advanced ideas, such stunning changes into one years progress. "You'll get that Chevy feeling - fast, when you discover how quickly and surely this car responds, how beautifully it behaves." said one 1958 Chevy ad. "You'll like being looked at in your beautiful '58 Chevrolet" said another.

The Bel Air was also a safe car for the public! Chevrolet was proud of their massive twin headlights which "on high beam they doubly pattern the road for safer driving at night". Safety plate glass throughout and wrap around front and rear windows gave better vision. Chevy called it "an all fender view for the driver - your picture window on wheels".
