rwoods Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 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.

Ron of Chicago Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Beware........Auction people will always tell you that the car they are trying to sell is "RARE"It sounds like e-bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Call Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 MrgoodwrenchEven though there were a lot less 210's made than BelAir's the BelAir is probably worth more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron of Chicago Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 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.
