THE LEGENDARY BEL AIR Borrowing its stylish looks from the legendary Bel Air, the 1957 Chevrolet Cameo was dubbed “the gentleman's pickup” - more at home in the driveway of a suburban bungalow than on a farm.

After graduating from Munich Polytechnical with very high academic honors, he went on to become…
