The Chevrolet Biscayne was a series of full-size cars produced by Chevrolet primarily between 1958 and 1970. Named after a show car displayed at the 1955 General Motors Motorama, the Biscayne was the least expensive model in the Chevrolet full-size car range (except the 1958-only Chevrolet Delray). The absence of most exterior and fancy interior trimmings remained through the life of the series, as the slightly costlier Chevrolet Bel Air offered more interior and exterior features at a price significantly lower than the top of the line Chevrolet Impala. The Biscayne was named after Biscayne Bay, near Miami, Florida, following a trend by Chevrolet at the time to name cars after coastal cities or beaches such as the Bel Air and the later Chevrolet Malibu. Three generations of Biscyane were sold in North America: 1st Gen (1958-1960), 2nd Gen (1961-1964), and 3rd Gen (1965-1970). A fourth generation was built from 1971 to 1975, but it was only available for the Canadian market.
