Description[]
The '59 Chevy Bel Air was modified from the '59 Chevy Impala tool in 2002 and debuted in the 2003 Pride Rides Series. The most notable difference between the Impala and Bel Air castings is the addition of a B-pillar on the Bel Air. Confusingly, some of the releases of the Bel Air casting use the '59 Chevy Impala name. The casting was retooled in 2022 to give the rear fins more definition and better contouring, particularly on the front fender. All retooled versions use the '59 Chevy Impala name.
