This 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air Parkwood station wagon has been modified with adjustable air suspension and refinished in brown over brown houndstooth upholstery. Power comes from a 348ci V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, and equipment includes a late-model rear axle, a receiver hitch, Billet Specialty 18″ wheels, Wilwood disc brakes, air conditioning, a Pioneer stereo, wood cargo-area flooring, dash-mounted controls for the air suspension, and a hidden air tank. The seller acquired the car in 2019, and service in early 2021 consisted of recoring the radiator and flushing the coolant.
The car has been refinished in brown with a white roof and features chrome-finished bumpers as well as a receiver hitch.
Chrome-finished Billet Specialties 18″ wheels wear spinner-style center caps and are mounted with Sumitomo HTR Z5 tires. Wilwood disc brakes have been installed at each corner, and the adjustable-height air suspension utilizes RideTech HQ shocks.
The interior features front and rear bench seats with brown vinyl upholstery and houndstooth inserts. Brown carpeting covers the floor, and equipment includes air conditioning as well as a Pioneer stereo mounted beneath the dashboard.
A two-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of factory instrumentation composed of a 120-mph speedometer flanked by three auxiliary gauges and a blank. Additional gauges and controls for the air suspension have been added under the dash. The five-digit odometer is said to show 50k miles.
The cargo area has been redone with gloss-finished wood slats, and the rear seatback has been pinstriped. The air tank for the suspension is mounted in the spare-tire well.
The 348ci V8 is finished in orange and utilizes triple carburetors with individual chrome-finished air cleaners. The generator has been replaced with an alternator, and service during early 2021 is said to have included recoring the radiator and flushing the coolant.
Power is delivered through a four-speed 700R4 automatic transmission and a late-model rear axle.
