Vehicle Description
This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air "Fuelie" Convertible is a nicely
restored, fuel-injected Tri-Five convertible with some very nice
options. Chevrolet produced some of its most iconic passenger cars
of all time during during a span of 3 years, 1955, 1956, and 1957,
which has become known as the Tri-Five era. Perhaps the most
recognizable and quintessential Tri-Five Chevy was the 1957 Bel Air
which was the final year. The '57 Bel Air underwent a significant
stylistic redesign from the previous 2 years. Of course, the most
identifiable change for the 1957 model year was the addition of the
large fins protruding from the rear quarter panels that give the
Bel Air a truly classic 50s look. Additionally, Chevrolet made a
number of other revisions such as tweaking the look on the front
ends, with a totally new looking grille and bumper layout as well
as an even flatter hood with dual wind splits. To differentiate
from the lower-end 150 and 210 models, the Bel Air trim featured an
elevated gold anodized "V" emblem on the front of the hood with
matching trim in the three small indentations located on the front
quarter panels behind the headlights along with a matching gold "V"
emblem and gold "Bel Air" script on the trunk. The other major
upgrade in 1957 was that Chevrolet also began to offer new and more
powerful engine options on its top-of-the-line Bel Air series and
most notable was its Fuel Injected 283 V8. Utilizing a Rochester
mechanical Fuel Injection system, the "Fuelie" 283 V8s were way
ahead of their time and were among the first mass-produced American
made cars with this type of technology. Under the hood on this
Tri-Five Chevy is a 283 Cubic Inch V8 engine paired with a
Rochester Fuel Injection unit. The 283 V8 is backed by a Powerglide
Automatic tranmission ensuring that anybody can take this "Fuelie"
for a spin around the block. Exhaust exits the Fuel Injected 283 V8
via a dual exhaust setup that gives this Bel Air Convertible a nice
throaty sound. This 1957 Bel Air is loaded with options! With power
steering, manuvering this 57 Chevy in and out of tight spaces at
car shows is a total breeze and improves the overall driving
experience. The white vinyl power convertible top is in fantastic
condition and goes up and down with the simple pull or push of a
button mounted neatly under the dash. When down, the power
convertible top tucks beneath a red vinyl boot that matches the
overall look of the car. All 4 windows are powered and they work
great and are in wonderful shape. The front bench seat is powered
as well, simplifying the process of adjusting the seat to your
preference. Riding on a set of wide whitewall tires that are paired
with spinner-style wheel covers, this 1957 Chevy Bel Air has a
truly classic look. The chrome and brightwork around the exterior
of this Bel Air is in wonderful condition. The rear-mounted
continental kit, along with removable rear fender skirts, adds to
the classic 50s appearance of this Chevrolet as well. The exterior
of this Chevrolet Bel Air has been refinished in beautiful Matador
Red, just as it came back in 1957. The interior on this Bel Air
Convertible is absolutely stunning! The powered front bench seat
and rear bench have been correctly reupholstered in Red and Silver
vinyl. The red painted dash, Red & Silver vinyl door panels, red
