1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 door Hardtop- High Quality Show and
Cruise
This is a stunning and highly acclaimed top show quality 1957
Chevrolet Bel Air two-door hardtop. Having achieved the winning of
multiple Best of Show, People's Choice and First Place awards, you
will be proud to take her anywhere and simply having her close by
for "garage art". This amazing example was finished over 20 years
ago and has lived the most pampered life possible since. With very
few miles traveled (to mostly show events, calendar photo shoots
and cruise events) this "old school style" restoration brings
smiles, garners admiration, and peaks attention where ever she
goes. The restoration was executed on a rust free body and chassis,
and the "Romanesque Crimson Candy" PPG paint (a $30,000 investment
20 years ago) is a remarkable statement about our sellers
commitment to a high quality, rotisserie "nut and bolt" build.
