1950 Classic Chevrolet - Accessories

Sponsored Links

Considered a new accessory for 1950, the Powerglide automatic transmission was only offered by Chevrolet on all Deluxe cars such as the 1950 Chevy Bel Air and 1950 Chevy Belair Convertible.

Selling points of the powerglide were: Park with security, your engine saves your brakes, drive without clutch pedal or gearshift, move ahead with oil cushioned smoothness and go with sure-footed safety on snow and ice.

The Powerglide automatic transmission was combined with a new 235 cubic inch 105 horsepower six cylinder engine also as an option on Deluxe models and of course at extra cost.

Perhaps the most gaudy of accessories was the external windshield sun shade that had to add at least $50.00 to the cost of a new car. Directional Signals and a heater/defroster were the most popular accessory. As seen below most 1950 Chevy Deluxe accessories were directed at women.
