Vehicle Description
The 1957 Chevrolet is an icon all on its own. But while others out
there go for the outrageous, this one is about showcasing a high
degree of originality with only the right subtle upgrades for
proper maintenance. So if you love your icons to have a time
capsule-like quality, dig into the details on this one.
How do you get a car that looks this good? Well, it starts coming
off of long-term, garage-kept ownership (40 years.) The mileage is
even believed to be accurate. If true, that means this averaged
less than 800 miles annually! The sheetmetal also reaffirms this
has had a low mileage and well-maintained life. That's why it's
straight enough to keep the iconic trim looking like an unbroken
line down the side. And all of the rest of the important chrome
that makes these '57s so special is complete - from the legendary
grille to the factory wheel covers. You even get a classic set of
whitewalls! While this looks like a great survivor, there have been
a few worthwhile upgrades. The original Onyx Black paint was given
a respray later in life. It gives this a fine gloss, but there are
enough imperfections to make people believe it's the original
application (and we won't tell the secret.) Plus, this 210 model
has been upgraded to the Bel Air's fan-style tailfin trim, because
after all, everyone loves this look.
Inside, the factory-correct ivory and charcoal presentation is
exactly what the 1950s were all about. We are hard-pressed to find
anything that looks replaced as the two-tone dances across the
seats, door panels, and even the dash. Plus, the artful
presentation of the steering wheel, gauges, and trim will have
people marveling how well this one has survived.
Under the hood you'll find what's believed to be the original
motor. It has such an honest presentation and the long list of
surviving supporting components means everyone recognizes it as the
factory powerplant without you ever saying a word. The 235
cubic-inch motor is smooth and torquey, and it was a mainstay of
Chevrolet vehicles for decades. The 210 was the mid-line for Chevy
in '57 but this one does have the premium feature Powerglide
automatic transmission to make sure you can show off this unique
icon with ease.
This Chevy 210 is a rare treat that's has been looked after
correctly for decades. If you're a true collector that's ready to
be the next caretaker, call today!
