Thank you Dan! Based on the brochure information this is a Bel Air. Will edit the post accordingly. :)

Good eye!

I see you caught the chrome detail (absent in the Biscayne) that sets it apart. The Impala had three lights per side and a stainless steel inset panel above the bumper.

It was nice how you could not only tell the year and make, but the trim series fairly easily back then...
