Vehicle Description
You're looking at a tribute to one of the meanest street machine
ever. But this 1957 Chevrolet 150 not only looks like a Black Widow
sedan, but also the period-correct fuel-injected powerhouse under
the hood gives you the performance of a true blacktop king.
With less than 100 miles on this classic since it was restored, its
appeal is as clear as black and white. In fact, you can see the
level of investment every time the sunlight hits the high-gloss
two-tone. It's particularly special to get this right, because
those who know performance history also know the significance of
the black and white utility sedans. These could be optioned to be
the light and powerful "Black Widows" of the boulevard. That's why
it also has all all the 150-model specific elements, including the
white steelies with half wheel-covers, and the sash molding that
were made famous by the upper level trims in previous years. But
more than just the unique pieces, the Chevy 150 shares all the
iconic '57 Chevy elements we all love. The sharp tailfins, dual
jet-inspired hood ornaments, and wide grille that looks like a big
chrome smile - it all contributes to the legend that is the '57
Chevy. So with all these iconic pieces to get correct, you'll be
impressed with the level of detail and investment in the brightwork
and panel fit to make sure that everyone remembers this Black
Widow.
The 150 line had one of the coolest interior patterns around. The
comfy cloth inserts on the seats and the matching side panels were
as wild as some of the custom creations that would come out decades
later. So the freshly restored interior will attract a wide range
of people. That's why it's nice that this tribute car has a back
seat to share with more family and friends (utility sedans just had
a parcel shelf.) You'll love how the dash continues the black and
silver theme. Plus, everything is period-correct - from the dual
spoke steering wheel to the AM radio that's still cranking out
tunes!
But your favorite part of this restoration is absolutely under the
hood. Not only is this a fuel-injection car, but you'll love
telling people that this has a true EK-code 1957 FI block. It even
has the 1957-correct Rochester fuel-injector unit (7014800). And on
an engine this well done, all the details are exactly what you
want, too. From the Chevrolet script on the valve cover, to the
Fuelie's specific intake - it's a stellar total presentation. More
than just something to look at, this is a true street machine. The
instant response of the fuel injection combines with the growl of
the dual exhaust and control of the column-shifted three-speed
manual transmission to let you know what it felt like to be a
blacktop racer in the '50s.
This is an iconic classic restored with a time capsule-like
quality. So if you demand a genuine feeling from your turn-key
street machine, then don't let this special one slip away. Call
