Vehicle Description
Iconic on the outside, custom on the inside, and a powerful V8
under the hood - you might have already fallen in love at first
sight with this 1957 Chevrolet 210 post coupe, but it only gets
better the deeper you dig.
The exterior is that perfect blend of vintage and upgraded. After
all, there is arguably no better recognized shape than the Tri-Five
Chevys, but you can also instantly tell this one is extra special.
The body panels have the kind of straightness that only comes from
taking real time and huge money to get right. And this investment
pays off when it's the canvas for an artfully slick application of
a modern burnt orange. The 210s from this year had almost as much
trim as the Bel Airs, so it wasn't hard to finish the job of
looking like one with acres of chrome and stainless that have a
mirror-like quality. This includes the wide grille and bumper
package with Dagmars as large as the headlights, dual jet-inspired
hood ornaments, and the full-length body trim that ends in the
hallmark bright tailfin inserts. But as much as we love those
iconic pieces, the tinted windows, sport mirrors, and the those
bright RT5 wheels also let you know there is modern performance
beneath the vintage skin.
The moment you open the door, the two-tone interior will make you
(and everyone else) instantly realize there has been a serious
investment in customization. It starts with the modern bucket
seats. They are power adjustable and have the kind of bolstering to
give you an individual level of comfort that they could have never
provided in '57. Plus, the cream leather with ostrich insert is a
true master's touch. The color on the seats are the perfect
complement to the custom door panels, as well as matching carpet,
headliner, and center console - it's truly a thoughtful and uniform
build! And speaking of the center console, take a look at the
thoughtful features that have been fully integrated. This includes
cup holders front & rear, power windows, and a modern AM/FM/CD
stereo with everything from satellite radio to Bluetooth. There's
even modern R134a air conditioning to keep you feeling as cool as
you look in this '57 Chevy. Plus, with the upgraded steering wheel
(with matching ostrich grip), Lokar shifter, and well-integrated
full gauge package, you know this is a custom that was meant to be
driven.
The first Tri-Five Chevys were the dawn of the small block, but
they were never given anything as powerful, or as turn-key as this.
It's an LT1 V8 out of a C4 Corvette, another great Chevrolet icon.
And take a few moments to appreciate how much gloss and shine is in
that ultra-smooth engine bay (we dare you to find another component
that can be polished!) So it's no wonder this total package is
already a multiple award-winner. But more than just an amazing
presentation, as you dig deeper, you see features like the large
aluminum radiator w/electric fans, upgraded pulleys, fuel injection
that help make this is a more useful driving machine. The same goes
for the power steering and 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission
w/overdrive. And as you look underneath, you will not only see that
this is fully painted, but also it has been upgraded with a tubular
A-arm front suspension, sway bars front & rear, and power brakes
with front discs. So you're looking at the iconic classic that's
easy enough to drive on the morning commute.
Here's the hit of every cruise-in that's also reliable enough to
take on the Power Tour. It's the kind of '57 Chevy that you've
always wanted, and if you're quick enough, your reward is ready to
come home. Call today!!!
