Some Iconic Chevys Went Rollin' On the River

Following the end of World War II, American auto makers tried to quickly switch back from making military items to once again producing cars and trucks. For the first few years they basically released slight updates of the cars they were making in the early 1940s but by the end of that decade and into the 1950s they were turning out all new vehicles. There was new technology which was a result of their work for the military but there was also a plethora of new design cues which makes this era some of the most iconic cars for collectors. Since Chevrolet was the biggest selling American auto maker it's little wonder that there are quite a few cars sporting the bow tie logo on hand at old car events around the world. The top cars from that era were the full sized Bel Air and it's two lower series models, the 150 and the 210, both of which are often made up to look like the more expensive Bel Air. There were plenty of all of these at the 33rd Annual Rollin' On the River show in Fernbank Park. Here are some that were in the park that day.
