Cliff Horn's 1954 Chevy Bel Air
🏆️ Goodguys Feature Pick
Cliff Horn grew up in a hot rodding family and fondly remembers riding to shows and swap meets with his dad, Patrick, in a ’31 Chevy coupe, a ’50 Olds 88, and other vintage rides. In the 1980s, Cliff went the young guy’s route with VWs, even attending early Goodguys Bug Bash events, followed by mini trucks with a dropped ’89 S10 Blazer. At the turn of the century, he picked up a ’68 C10 and blew it apart planning a ground-up rebuild.
Like it does with many projects, life got in the way and all of a sudden, a decade had slipped by and the C10 was still far from together. No longer wanting to ride shotgun to shows, Cliff was on the lookout for a new cruiser that he and his wife, Debbie, could get in and enjoy without much work. He didn’t really have a specific car in mind, so when he spied a white ’54 Chevy Bel Air for sale at the 2016 West Coast Nationals, he went in for a closer look.
