Ready to Rockabilly

WITH its rounded bonnet, imposing size and curvy 1950s silhouette, Colin Smith’s 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air is an imposing piece of machinery. Originally shipped over from California and purchased by Colin from a seller in Queensland, the vehicle has a handsome bronze and cream exterior - and matching interior - and has drawn admiring glances from many in the time he has had it. “I just like the body style and all the chrome,” Colin said. “It’s an American car, and the Americans really know how to style cars.” A member of the Wangaratta Rod and Custom Club since its beginnings in 1977, Colin said he had owned a number of hot rods over the years, but his Chevy is his current pride and joy.
