Vehicle Description
The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door sedan is already in-demand
because it's iconic. But to take it to the next level like this
one, you need bold paint, serious V8 power, and an exceptionally
fresh presentation that has less than 1,000 miles on it since the
full frame-off restoration. So this is a custom and thoughtful
build that shows us what happens when someone invests in
quality.
The glowing turquoise is the exact right color for this classic.
There were hues like this available from the factory, but this
modern clearcoat finish is far bolder... and that sets the theme
correctly for this Chevy. It has an excellent glow that rolls
evenly in the sunshine, which tells you there was the right kind of
investment in getting this modern sunny color applied correctly.
Plus, the white roof adds to this car's period-correct appeal. And
of course, there's the brightwork. It all has a mirror-like shine
that takes this Bel Air back to day one. More than just bright,
there was a solid investment in the body. That means everything
looks nearly seamless - from how the hood rests into the grille to
the full-length trim line that helps form the iconic tailfin. But
more than just aesthetics, this one gets its fundamentals right,
too - the glass is clean and clear; the lights are bright; and the
doors shut with authority. So it's a cool cruiser with an anytime
driving attitude.
The turquoise theme continues inside as the fresh interior
showcases the ideal mix of vintage and new. For example, the seats
follow a similar pattern to the classic Bel Air, but now these
custom benches are given individual bolstering for all-day comfort.
These seats nicely match the door panels and dash for a very
uniform appearance. As you look over the whole interior all the
upgrades seem to be done with careful thought. The cup holder
center console nicely matches the carpeting. The chrome Ididit tilt
steering column and upgraded sports steering wheel have the kind of
shine that nicely fits with '50s nostalgia. The original gauge
housings now have Dakota Digital VHX readouts to give you more
complete info. And while the radio looks like a vintage knob-style
unit, it's really a digital tuner that offers modern amenities like
USB inputs and full Bluetooth capabilities. And if all of this
didn't already have you convinced this is a cool cruiser, there's
even modern R134a air conditioning!
Grab your sunglasses before opening the hood, because we dare you
to find another component that can be polished. There has been a
huge investment in time and money for such a tidy and shiny
presentation. So we bet the engine bay will win awards all on its
own. And since this car is fresh off of restoration, the motor
really is as fresh as it looks! This 350 cubic-inch crate V8 has
much more going for it than just the shine. Behind the style is the
substance of performance upgrades like a large Edelbrock 750 CFM
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and shorty headers. This
full package is estimated to make 325 horsepower, and the growl of
the X-pipe dual exhaust lets everyone know it. But more than just
powerful, this was built to reinforce its easy cruising attitude,
too. That's why you have features like the aluminum radiator
w/electric fan to keep it all running cool even if you're in
traffic with the A/C pumping. The full Jim Meyers front suspension
gives this a solid feeling on the road, and the Wilwood four-wheel
disc brake package gives you superior stopping power. Plus, the
four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, power steering, and
cruise control make this a terrific highway classic.
