WOW...they sound like very cool cars Jim, especially the '70!!! .

Back to that old question, why didn't Chevy offer the Biscayne or Bel-Air in 2-Door Post cars for 1970 when the cars were basically retrimed '69's anyway? .

Agreed, some cool cars!

Also, my friend Matt sent this to me:
Well up here in Canada, 1970 only GM made around 2,000
or so 2-door HARDTOP "budget" cars, either biscaynes or bel airs. It's not widely known or published. Why? I have to assume they had a surplus of bodies or something...

Matt

Sounds interesting Kurt...any more you can you can find out on this would be appreciated! .

Without the 2 Dr. Posts available for 1970, I can understand the need for stripper cars based on the hardtops...but to badge them Bel-Airs and Biscaynes...really? .

We cheapskate Canadians had Biscaynes in production to I believe 1975 also Bel-Airs to 1981...when did US production end for these model names? .
