MATTHEW JACOB HIERS, 1957 BEL AIR, MOST ICONIC CAR FROM THE 1950'S, MELBOURNE, FL The Iconic Nineteen-Fifties. When you think of cars of the 50’s, The first that comes to mind is the 1957 Bel Air. Recognized internationally as the most iconic American classic cars ever built. Built like a tank! The 57 Bel Air as with most of the cars of the 50’s were big, beefy, and heavy. Weighing at 3410 pounds and over 16 and a half feet long, the Bel Air would compare to many of today’s full size sedans or mid size SUVs, but because of the high hood and trunk line, the Bel Air just looked and drove like a tank. A driving experience you’ll never forget. Matthew Jacob Hiers, Melbourne FL
