Jetstream Bel Air

Jetstream Bel Air takes the sacred ’49 Merc silhouette and drags it through two very real chapters of American car culture: postwar show-rod excess and the early-2000s West Coast chrome-and-billet era. The body is pushed hard—trapezoidal, stepped front boxes and a massive rear swell—yet the lines stay disciplined, like a factory sketch that got out of hand in the best way.
