The 53 belair had two stainless strips on the rear quarter that came to point at the rear. the 210 had a single strip that ran the whole way back.The belair had a different color in the insert.
The belair was trimmed much nicer inside than a 210.
99028 belair hardtops were made verses 14045 210 hardtops.
base price on a belair was $2051 the 210 $1967.most people paid the extra for the much nicer trimed bel air.

Thanks now I know exactlly what I'm looking at.I had a picture of a 210 in "the Branson auction"book and it said that it(210) was rare so I wondered what the difference was--

Beware........Auction people will always tell you that the car they are trying to sell is "RARE"

It sounds like e-bay

Even though there were a lot less 210's made than BelAir's the BelAir is probably worth more.

According to "The Standard Catalog of American Cars 1946-1975 there were 649,821 210's made and 513,779 Bel Air's.

Although there are mistakes made, I don't know of any other figures for vehicles out there other then maybe "Chevy by the Numbers.
