Is there a superlative that hasn't been used when trying to describe this American automotive icon? "Classic" is the term most often heard, but it is often used unfairly to describe only the car's obvious aesthetic charm. The Bel Air's beauty was more than just 'skin deep' as an attractive array of engine and transmission options were available. Chief among these was the historic RamJet fuel-injected V-8, which was one of the first engines to produce one horsepower per cubic inch, at 283 cid and 283 hp.
