Model Information
The two-tone Bel-Air was created as a concept in 1988 and brought to life for the 1990 model year with three unique color combinations. While produced in limited number, it appears the blue version was/is most prevalent.
The Bel-Air monotone was a France-only model that was essentially a triple-color Quartett with luxuries. The monotone was produced in three series:
- Series 1, 1990: 100 produced
- Series 2, 1991: 150 produced
- Series 3, 1991: 150 produced
