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.

Oldsmobile 442 1970

by Ross Mills

Named for its four-barrel, four-speed, and dual exhausts, the 1970 Oldsmobile 442 was the muscle car equivalent of a bodybuilder in a tuxedo. With a 455-cubic inch V8 engine cranking out 365 hp, it was the automotive version of a caffeine-fueled sprint. The W30 variant added extra oomph with 370 hp and a hood with more scoops than an ice cream shop. Even James Garner raced one, proving that this car could handle the NORRA Mexico 1000 and still look good doing it.
