Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present a great example of this
1957 Chevrolet 210 Bel Air 2 Door Custom 350 V8 Sedan on a very
straight body and boasting modern upgrades including power
steering, power brakes and vintage air conditioning.One of the
USA's most recognized classic cars ever, the top-of-the-line Bel
Air series, introduced for the 1953 model year, replaced the
Styleline DeLuxe series. It was to become the most desirable
Chevrolet model of the 1950's, offering a balance of style and
luxury appointments unavailable in the base 150 amp; 210 series and
offered in a wide range of body styles, including a convertible,
Sport Coupe hardtop, two- and four-door sedans and four-door
station wagons.As the American public began to prefer posh to
economy, the Bel Air began to outsell the lesser series, including
both 150 and 210 models. As a partial answer to this, Chevrolet
re-introduced the Two-Ten Sport Coupe hardtop in the middle of the
1955 model year, and also added a four-door Two-Ten hardtop Sport
Sedan for 1956. Neither achieved the sales of their Bel Air
counterparts, however, even though they were only about $100
cheaper than the Bel Airs, which provided some more luxury and
premium exterior trim. Today, the Bel Air series of Chevrolets from
1953 to 1957 are considered the most desirable models for
collectors and well maintained and preserved models have the
ultimate appeal. Indeed there's no better example of GM's styling
and engineering prowess in the fifties than these Chevrolet's.The
Chevrolet Bel Air was introduced as a sporting 2 door Hardtop Coupe
powered by a 6 cylinder engine and using a smooth Powerglide
transmission. The Bel Air range was expanded in 1953 to sedans and
a very desirable convertible and by 1954, a station wagon, the
Nomad was added to the range of models. By 1955 a comprehensive
restyling arrived at its definitive classic shape and the Bel Air
was the flagship model of the entire Chevrolet division.This
particular 1957 Chevrolet 210 Bel Air 2 Door Custom Sedan example
is a beautiful example in this classic factory color and with no
rust or signs of any accidents - the car has a new care 350 V8
engine with only some 1500 miles since the build, a 350 automatic
transmission, 18 amp; 20 torque thrust wheels - a wonderful example
of America's favorite 1950's classic car that retains its original
look but boasts desirable modern upgrades and a wonderful driver
for any American classic car enthusiast!
