Looking sharp and running strong, this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
represents one of the most storied American classics of all time.
Refreshed in its original Onyx Black that's ornamented with an
assembly of shiny chrome and eye-catching gold lettering, this is a
vintage car that absolutely demands attention. While some of its
counterparts have survived through the years, not many of them can
match this Chevy's surprisingly vital appearance - take a lap
around and you'll be impressed by its precise exterior alignment
and the clean, clear glass that surrounds the cabin. It has a great
stance - slightly inclined, but nothing too drastic - and a set of
Cragar S/S wheels adds a nice aftermarket detail. Inside, the black
and red interior mixes vinyl and cloth and accurately reflects the
ornate style of the mid-'50s to offer a compelling driving
environment. Many classic car aficionados will argue that a vintage
ride is made to be driven and not just admired like a museum piece,
and this '57 stands ready for just that. Its period-correct
drivetrain includes a 283 cubic inch V8 that's in strong running
form and pairs with a 2-speed automatic transmission that shifts
without issue. Quite a number of mechanical components have been
replaced to ensure a level of dependability you'll appreciate as
you hit the road, including the wiring harness, alternator, and
torque converter. An aftermarket aluminum radiator and electric fan
now sit at the front of the engine compartment to ensure this
classic Chevy doesn't get overheated during its travels. Power
brakes that now include discs up front provide a level of stopping
ability suitable for frequent driving.
