This 57 Chevy presents itself real well. Very nice finishes in and
out. It has a refreshing look, it's not the typical red Bel Air

The doors click shut. The Sierra gold metal flake paint is laid out
evenly, the clear coat is polished like a mirror. The roof is
painted high gloss white. Overall the chrome and stainless is
straight and shiny. Most of it looks like it was replaced during
restoration. It has optional rear mount antenna and rocker

light works in there also.

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
