Vehicle Description
It's hard to get more iconic than a two-tone 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
hardtop. It's a true classic V8 machine that has been done with all
the right features to give it that authentic boulevard cruiser
feeling.
A classic like this is about a bright and cheery time, and so it's
great to have it in a bright and cheery white and turquoise blue
two-tone. And while any '57 Chevy makes you think about a hot
summer night cruising the boulevard, this one really gets the
nostalgia right in the details. It has some of the best additions
of its era, like blue breezie side vent windows, passenger side
curb feelers, and fender skirts. Of course, a well-done continental
kit on the back is pure vintage flair, too. Plus, the iconic full
brightwork package is complete. And because the panels align so
well, the full-length trim looks almost unbroken as it sweeps
through the door line. The total package looks nice, but it's all
built to be a cruiser that you'll never be too nervous to take out
and enjoy on the weekends. This driver-ready attitude is fully seen
as you look into the interior and engine.
This is a pillarlesss hardtop, and so it's easy to roll down all
the windows and let people get a good look inside. That's why the
interior has more of that beautiful blue that gives this one a
flowing look inside and out. Plus, the button-top seatbacks, silver
piping, and black textured insert in the seats and doors all have
that classic look you love on a '57 Chevy. The bright dash panel,
artful steering wheel, and wraparound windshield really give you
that classic cruiser feeling. And while the correct AM radio is on
display, they have hidden a Kenwood receiver in the glovebox and a
CD changer in the trunk. So you keep the vintage atmosphere, but
now you have greatly upgraded driving music.
Part of what makes these cars a legend is that the Tri-Fives were
the ones to introduce the Chevy small block V8. So you'll be happy
to lift the hood to reveal a correct-style 283 cubic-inch motor. It
has the true stock style with a bright orange block, matching
Chevrolet script valve covers, and a big air grabber on top. But as
you dig a little deeper, you can see this classic style also has
been given good maintenance, including newer belts, hoses, plugs
wires, and an upgrade to a 12-volt system. This idea of proper care
is reinforced by the way the V8 fires up and runs with ease. And
you'll love the tune out of the newer glasspack-style dual exhaust.
The clean undercarriage gives you proper driving confidence, and
the Powerglide automatic transmission even makes cruising easy.
Complete with owner's manual, this is an iconic classic has the
right look and the right driver-ready pieces you really want. So
