The Chevrolet Biscayne was a series of automobile produced by Chevrolet for model years 1958 through 1972. 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 in 1958), which included the Delray, Bel Air, Impala and the Caprice. The Biscayne name survived in Canada through the 1975 model year. Biscaynes were produced primarily for the fleet market, though they were also available to the general public — particularly to those who wanted low-cost, no-frills transportation with the convenience and room of a full-size automobile. While most were sold with a six-cylinder engine through the late 1960s, nearly all Biscaynes sold in the early 1970s had a V8 engine1 and automatic transmission; power steering was made standard in 1971, as was the Turbo-Hydramatic transmission on all cars ordered a V-8 engine.
