The sign in the front window identified this as a 1957 Chevrolet 2-Door Post Coupe, but this tail end looks like a Bel Air to me. I’m not sure what the differences are, if any. All I know is I can’t get enough of shooting those ’57 Chevy’s from this angle. Great color, too!

I found out it had to do with Trim Levels.
150 series - Base trim
210 series - Mid trim
Bel Air series - Top trim

"The Two-Ten shared the wedge-shaped side trim with the Bel Air, but unlike the Bel Air (which had the wedge filled with an aluminum trim panel) the Two-Ten's wedge was painted either body color, or top color with the optional two-tone paint package. "Chevrolet" in script was mounted inside the wedge. "
I think someone put a Bel Air wedge on a 210 or 150

I think 2 door Post coupes were only available for the "210" trim level. They came in a few different body styles.

150s were base trims and Belairs were high trim level vehicles

I think someone put a Bel Air wedge on a 210 or 150, it might be an after market resto part.
