Yes, what you see before your eyes is a Chevrolet Bel Air, one from 1950. Or, should we say, was, as this thing here looks nothing like the car it is based on.
It’s called Boost, and it is the work of a Utah-based garage by the name Weaver Customs, following an idea by Pfaff Designs. It was shown for the first time in 2013 at the Detroit Autorama, where it snatched the Outstanding in Class Radical Custom. Because, as you can see, it is a radical custom.

When the Chevelle rolled out for the 1964 model year, Chevrolet adopted a go-wide strategy in the guise of body styles that ranged from a four-door sedan to a two-door hardtop, convertible, coupe utility, and station wagon. The most powerful of the lot was the Z16 option, which featured a big-block 396 motor with hydraulic lifters and a four-speed stick shift. 36 photos

Fun story, the F-1 earned the name F-100 partly because of the F-100 Super Sabre plane and its popularity during that era. It was the United States Air Force’s first-ever jet capable of supersonic speeds.
