The 1954 Chevrolet 3800 panel van is like the post-war Chevy with a little facelift—gone is the split windshield, say hello to the sleek curved glass!

Under the hood, you’ve got a 235 cu in straight-six engine, and if shifting gears makes you feel like James Bond, there’s a three-speed on the column or a four-speed on the floor. Or go automatic with the Hydramatic, because why not?

The L83-350 made ’82 Corvettes roar with its cross-fire fuel injection, though ’83 took a pit stop. Enter the L98, flexing up to 245 bhp by ‘89 with a snazzy rear axle tweak. Not to be outdone, the L05 found its way into everything, from the Suburban to the Hummer H1, until replaced by the LT1’s swan song in ‘96.

Chevrolet Bel-Air G2 1955-57

by Ross Mills

The Chevrolet Bel-Air G2 (1955-57), dubbed “The Hot One,” stirred the pot with its slick style and a V8 that guzzled oil like a thirsty cowboy. While Motor Trend praised its handling, the horn ring’s speedometer peekaboo was a conundrum. The 265 V8 was a first for Chevy since 1917, evolving into a 283 beast by ’57. With chrome galore, optional A/C, and “idiot lights,” it was a head-turner. Who knew evaluating gauges was so 1954? Enthusiasts still drool over these TriFives, the crowning jewel being the ’57 model.
