Doug
found the 54 BelAir in November of 2014 in Bartlesville. After a good looking
over and a great test
drive, Doug made the purchase.
The
original front clip has been replaced with a Nova
front clip which includes power disc brakes and power steering.
The
duel exhaust and unmistakable Comp Cams Thumpr sound
lets you know this Chevy will go!
The
Chevy has a GM 350 cubic inch V8 that has been bored .030
over stock. The camshaft is a Comp Cams Thumpr that delivers
that aggressive, head-turning sound! When he drives up you know this is not a
stock 54 Chevy. Fuel is delivered through a 600-CFM Holley four barrel
carburetor mounted on an Edelbrock Performer aluminum manifold. The V8 is
cooled by a Northern aluminum radiator.
The
power is moved to the third member through a GM 700R4
four speed automatic overdrive transmission with cooler. The third member is from a Nova
10 bolt with traction bars.
The
interior has Vintage Air, Painless Wiring, Dolphin Dash Gages, tilt steering,
and custom console with floor shift.
The
seats are 6-way power in the front with custom seat
in the rear with arm rest that has been upholstered by “Collin Auto Trim” of
Stillwater Oklahoma.
The
BelAir rides on a set of Summit Sport Star wheels
with 205/60R15’s on the front and 235/60R15’s on the rear.
This
cool 1954 BelAir cruises along the open road at 70 MPH, turning a little over
2000 RPM’s and brakes and drives like a new car.
The Cimarron Starlite Cruisers
sincerely will miss our "Doug"
Brashers! Doug was truly an American Classic!
