1962 Chevrolet Bel Air - $96,500 - Lock Haven, PA - Double taillight lenses tells us this is a Bel Air, while the subtle crossed flags 409 badges on the front fenders tell us this was Chevy’s meanest machine for 1962.

Impala coupes featured new sculpted roof styling simulating a convertible roof, while Bel Airs retained the “bubble top” roofs of the 1961 models.
