FactLatin NCAP crash-tested the airbag-less, ABS-less Agile in 2013 and gave it zero stars for adult occupants.
The revamped 1955 Bel Air, called the "Hot One" in GM advertising, gained Chevrolet's new small-block V8: a modern, overhead-valve, high-compression, short-stroke design that stayed in production in various displacements for decades. The 1955–1957 Chevrolets are commonly called the "Tri-Fives", and the 1957 Bel Air is regarded as an icon of its age.
