2019 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction, 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe
Every year, just before the Super Bowl and the Phoenix Open, Barrett-Jackson stages a huge auto auction at Westworld in Scottsdale, Arizona. Since it had been a few years since my previous visit, I ventured to Westworld, camera in hand. Here we see a well-preserved 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe still wearing its original Fiesta Cream and Bermuda Green paint with its original green interior, and has 50,200 original miles. It is powered by its original Blue Flame 235ci 6-cylinder engine mated to a Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission and is stopped by power brakes. I found it curious that the lighting and reflections under the tent made the Fiesta Cream paint look like a mixture of yellow and green — but with no seams separating the two. It sold for $30,250.
