Chevrolet Townsman

For 1954, the name was updated to the luxury Bel Air series station wagon, which featured DI-NOC woodgrain paneling.

[1] The power operation of both upper glass and lower tailgate became standard equipment in later model years.

Most options, aside from power windows and six-way front seat (with driver's control), were available on Townsman (and its less-expensive Brookwood counterpart) wagon models.

The Bel Air nameplate continued to be applied to all full-sized wagons through 1975 in the United States, and 1981 in Canada.

In both countries, the same model-year changes were applied to Bel Air wagons as its more-expensive Impala and Caprice brethren.
