Redesigned for 1957 the upscale Bel Air Sports Coupe was an instant
smash hit and was the bowtie brand's number one selling model
accounting for over 10% of total Chevrolet production. The 1957
Chevrolet Bel Airs' owed nothing to the previous year with its
sculpted front fenders, distinctive chrome headlights and wide-look
front grille. The now famous '57 Chevrolet tailfins were designed
to duplicate the new wide-look in the rear and include the V-shaped
trim filled with a ribbed aluminum insert exclusive to the Bel Air.
Bel Air models also stood apart with their anodized gold trim that
included the Chevrolet script hood and trunk emblems as well as the
fender chevrons. This Imperial Ivory Bel Air is in superb condition
and is a great representation of the one-year-only body style. The
recipient of a recent frame-off restoration, every inch of the
full-size Chevrolet has been lovingly refinished. The
laser-straight body work accentuates the gleaming chrome molding
and trim which is all complete. Also, the terrific spinner hubcaps
look just right with the wide white-wall tires. Under the hood is
the date-correct Chevrolet 283 cubic-inch V8 with the optional
Super-Turbo-Fire four-barrel carburetor producing a stout 220
horsepower and is connected to the reliable two-speed Powerglide
automatic transmission. The Bel Air cruises down the road
effortlessly with its optional power steering and smooth riding
full-frame design. The high-quality restoration can be seen
everywhere - even the undercarriage of the Chevrolet looks like new
and is fully detailed with all the correct parts and finishes.
Inside the Bel Air is a redesigned for 1957 dashboard, finely
detailed with end-to end chrome trim that complement the curvaceous
interior cabin. Originally equipped from the factory with rarely
ordered air conditioning, this Bel Air has been upgraded with a
Vintage Air system for those hot summer days. A 1957 Bel Air is a
unique find, especially one this nice. With summer in full-swing,
don't miss your chance to own this exceptional full-size Chevrolet
