The 1950 Chevrolets introduce the Powerglide automatic transmission praised as a major driving aid. The Bel Air luxury coupe joins the line with two and four door sedans, sport and business coupes, convertible, and all steel station wagon. Chevrolet outlines new power plants, chassis refinements, and a hydraulic torque system delivering smooth power to rear wheels.
The Powerglide automatic transmission uses a simple planetary gearset with drive reverse and low gears in a compact unit. It includes a hydraulic control system, check valves to prevent freewheeling, and a park neutral lock to prevent rolling, powered by a 105 horsepower engine at 3600 rpm and 235.5 cubic inches displacement.
The car without automatic transmission gains 92 horsepower at 3400 rpm due to engine refinements. A 216.5 cubic inch engine with bore and stroke details, a new concentric float bowl carburetor prevents fuel starvation, and a direct drain prevents spills. Additions include wind noise reduction, improved rear vision, a ventilated gas tank whistle for overflow warning, and other cold weather and vapor lock protections.
