small block Chevy with FI. A 283?
  
In a Bel Air?
 
You're pretty close, it's a Fuelie 283 all right, in a '58 Chevy DelRay.
 

 
Back before "Muscle Cars" came along the hot factory set up was the low end two-door coupe with the biggest motor, hooked up to a four-on-the floor like this DelRay (which was the low end Chevy before the Biscayne)

I was referred to this Forum, hope it's the right sub-area! I've posted some photos in www.carspace.com/sharonlpk/albums/bumper that show/describe the pieces I am trying to identify -- related to damage sustained by my Windstar in an office building parking lot . Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

You're in the right place. We'll see what we can do.
 
(I refered this reader here to see if we have any takers on identifying the hit and run bumper). I think it might be tougher than it looks.

Ok, so let's narrow it down.
 
If the dent on this reader's Windstar van was above the bumer line, then the vehicle that hit her must have been either a SUV, pick up truck, or another van.
 
I think we can rule out most newer high end SUVs or minivans as they have body colored painted bumpers.
 
As for pikcup trucks, we can assume it was a base model, or a "work" type of truck.
 
The age could be anywhere from new to 10-20 years old but because of the platic's condition (very clean, out and underneath, I would guess it was newer rather than older.
 
Ok, give me a few days, I'll work on it and figure it out. Unless omeone else solves this mystery.

Residents and former residents of the island stretching 110 miles to the East of New York City will recognize the distinctive colors of this police unit.

That is a beautiful 1959 Chevrolet. Is Biscayne the stripped model for that year? Then this is one below that! It looks really stripped.
