Vehicle Description
This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has been given strong investments to
make sure it maximizes both the classic style and modern comfort.
That's why you have sleek paint, shining chrome, V8 power, an
overdrive transmission, and a cold-blowing A/C interior. And you
know this one is going to get a ton of attention the moment you
pull up to a car show and two sets of doors open up on this
pillarless hardtop sedan.
The two-tone Colonial Cream and India White perfectly represents
the idea of a sunny day classic. It's the factory-correct color
combo, but the investment in a modern respray means there is a
terrific shine that's brighter than your nostalgia. Even as a
sedan, you still get that unmistakable '57 Chevy hardtop appearance
with the pillarless profile and dip in the door line. Plus, the Bel
Air's fanned tailfin trim is truly what sets this icon apart. And
more than just looking cool, the hardtop sedan is actually a rarer
classic than the hardtop coupe. Of course, the ultra-desirable
style would not be complete without the big chrome kings of the
intricate rear bumper that's crafted into the tailfin design, and
the huge chrome front end that looks like a 10,000-watt smile. This
one certainly goes for the premium appearance with details like
fender skirts, bright factory wheel covers, and the V8's correct
gold anodized trim. So in total, you can really tell this once has
been given all the right investment to be, straight, correct,
memorable, and worthy of some top trophies at the car shows.
One of the big reasons why you'll be keeping all the windows down
on this hardtop is so people can get a good look at one of the most
striking factory color combinations inside. The exterior-matching
yellow vinyl is joined by textured black on the door panels and
button-top seats. And with the full yellow and black on the
headliner, carpeting, and dash, it's eye-catching total appearance.
There are crisp, clean gauges behind the highly stylized Bel Air
steering wheel. The rest of the chrome on the dash looks amazing
with all the right pieces working, including the dome light. One
piece that is purposely not working is the AM radio. It's in the
dash for display and your real driving music comes from a hidden
upgraded AM/FM stereo that gives you better driving music. And a
modern R134a air conditioning system was added so you can enjoy
cruising with the windows down even in the summer.
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 nicely detailed engine bay that
features a 283 cubic-inch motor. Decked out in Chevy Orange with
those great cursive valve covers and huge factory oil bath air
cleaner on top, this has an amazing vintage style. But you're also
going to spot the right features that make this classic a more
confident driver for modern times. This includes the added
alternator, good belts, fresh hoses, an electric fan, and an
aluminum radiator. This V8 fires up eagerly as it inhales deeply
with the Rochester four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a
dignified V8 tune from the dual exhaust. Power steering, power
brakes, and modern tires give this a great classic cruiser feel.
And an upgrade to the 700R4 four-speed transmission w/overdrive
makes it easy to show off this stunner near or far.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and rare dealer
invoice. Correct, interesting, upgraded, and beautifully presented
- this is the kind of top-quality restored classic you'll keep
forever. So don't miss your opportunity, because it may never come
again. Call today!!!
