I have this '64 Bel Air two door sedan and it most definitely has side chrome trim.
the Belair my wife drove had side trim. It still a sharp car.
That 64 Belair has a bunch of not matching factory items
As already stated here - all fender, door and rear 1/4 Belair trim has been removed from 1611 Belair body from cowl tag
no factory air 400 HP 409s in 63 and 64 -only 340 HP 409s came with factory air -although it looks like it has a 340 HP 409 air cleaner
400 HP 409s came with dual snorkel air cleaner (duckbill air cleaner as noted above)
Also as stated here 400 HP came with Carter AFB carb with fuel line & return line that enters the drivers side rear of the carb
plus powerglide 409s only factory installed on 340 HP motors (no 400 Turbo automatics with any 64 Chevrolets)
no factory indicator on steering column for 400 Turbo in 1964
Engine has 63 409 valve covers (not the correct 64 409 valve covers with that come with plastic wire spark plug wire holders)
Cowl tag factory trim (863) and paint (920) are for a fawn interior and almond fawn exterior (not blue)
lots of significant changes from factory and wrong 400 HP 409 items that are claimed
Nice car but why twist the facts.
cowl tag ACC decode is needed

Very nice car! The detail on the suspension is excellent. This is the perfect car for the guy who wants one to drive to car shows with the family but doesn't have the time to build one. It has updates to make it a better driver and give the driver a confident feeling. I've owned them and remember the drum brakes pulling while doing the Chevy shimmy.. Disc brakes, TH-400, heavy duty updated suspension. The control arms are all perfectly level, I'll bet you can confidently cruise at 100 M.P.H. with one hand on the wheel..
