Wyprodukowany w tym roku Bel Air '55 był pięćdziesięciomilionowym samochodem zbudowanym przez General Motors.

Chevrolet for 1954 brings you beauty that's grew from every point of view. New front- and rear-end design, massive new bumpers extending even farther around the fenders and many other styling advances tastefully accent Chevrolet's beautiful Body by Fisher. The result is an even lower, longer and fleeter appearance . . . an even more distinctive and delightful beauty.
Interiors, too, are new! They're smartly tailored in a wide variety of new fabrics and vinyls. And even the smallest details are color-keyed to harmonize with a wide selection of new "fashion fiesta" exterior colors.
But that's only part of the story. There's big news under the hood – new power and performance . . . new engine quietness and smoothness plus truly outstanding economy. And you'll find much more that's new awaiting you in the beautiful 1954 Chevrolet!

The Story Behind the XP-21 Firebird

The XP-21 Firebird is the first gas turbine automobile ever to be built and tested in the United States.
It is not the first in a new line of General Motors cars. It will never be seen on a public highway. Actually, it is built only for the proving ground and test track.
What is the XP-21 designed to prove and test? First of all, this sleek, white single-seater is a vehicle for the study of the future possibilities of the gas turbine for commercial uses. It is part of an over-all General Motors research and engineering program to examine every known form of motive power.
But this important fact should also be noted: Although the prodigious power and speed potentials of gas turbines are well known, GM is not trying to develop either overwhelming horsepower or tremendous speeds in this test car. Rather, we are trying to determine whether the turbine can be harnessed to give efficient and economical performance in the low and normal automotive driving ranges.

An Old GM Custom

It has long been a GM custom for our stylists, engineers and researchers to design, build and test "working samples" in scanning the automobile's future. It is experimentation that goes far beyond sketches, drawings and theories.
In the past, this practice has produced such famed GM "range finders" as the Train of Tomorrow (1947), the automotive Y-job (1938), Le Sabre and XP-300 (1951), all of which were built to test both design and mechanical theories.

How the Firebird has Born

The idea of the Firebird originated with Harley J. Earl, GM Vice President in charge of styling staff, who also designed its fiber glass reinforced plastic body. The car's Whirlfire Turbo Power engine and the chassis were developed under direction of GM Vice President Charles L. McCuen, general manager of GM Research Laboratories Division.
