This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is already an awesome hardtop icon. And
it only gets better when you see the upgrades like the well-built
V8, four-on-the-floor, a leather-lined A/C interior, and full
sparkle presentation.
The VIN tells us this was born a real-deal V8 Bel Air, and we all
know a '57 hardtop is always in-demand. That's why they made sure
the fundamentals look good with nice body panels, uniform gaps, and
all the special chrome looking bright and complete. But there's
something much more going on here. There's so much metallic flake
radiating off the dark blue finish that it even beats out a starry
night in the desert. It's the result of a comprehensive wrap around
the body. So while you could remove this, we really know the
radiant look is what attracted you (and will do that for car show
crowed, too.) It gives this Bel Air a real custom attitude. And
that feeling continues on cool street machine pieces like the
louvered hood, sport mirrors, bright dual exhaust tips, and
polished Cragar wheels with extra meaty tires in the rear.
Inside is a custom two-tone gray interior. It looks nice against
the starry blue of the exterior, and we know that because the dash
was also given this special wrap, too. It's a true premium
experience with the best upgrades, including supple leather seats,
a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner, and cold-blowing air
conditioning. And on a custom car like this, the driver gets to
feel like a king. The upgraded front bucket seats mean true
personal space, and the sports steering wheel on the tilt column
furthers this individual-style comfort. Plus, everything from the
auxiliary gauges to the Hurst floor shifter get you ready for
something special under the hood.
A Tri-Five Chevy like this introduced us to the now-legendary small
block V8, and this celebrates that with added performance. The the
327 cubic-inch unit that's now under the hood is larger than
anything the factory gave in 1957. Plus, it inhales deeply with an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority as
headers add power while feeding the dual exhaust. And you take firm
control over it all with the Muncie four-speed manual transmission.
This is built to be a strong total package, and so it's also
supported by the right pieces, like a Flame Thrower III coil,
upgraded cooling, and a new Classic Performance power brake
booster. Add in power steering, front disc brakes, and wide BF
Goodrich T/As, and this is classic that's meant for driving.
This is the icon with extra power and flair, and so you know it's
the one you want to take everywhere. Call today!!!
