1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible For Sale - Incredibly Restored,
Highly Optioned, 283ci Dual Quad LMC is very proud to offer for
sale this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible The 1957 Chevrolet
Bel-Air is the most famous car that almost never happened.
Chevrolet's chief engineers sought an entirely new design for the
1957 model year but production delays thwarted this dream. Instead,
the designers made a series of changes out of necessity and created
an American icon. These changes included a new dashboard, sealed
cowl, and the relocation of air ducts to the headlight pods,
resulting in the distinctive chrome headlight peaks. These peaks
were carried to the rear-end design with the all-new, sky-high
tailfins clad in anodized aluminum beauty panels and wrapped in
chrome trim. The 1957 Chevrolet was sometimes called a "Baby
Cadillac" because of the many styling cues borrowed from Cadillacs
of the day. Chevrolet's V8-optioned cars were fitted with a large
"V" under the Chevrolet script on the hood and trunk lid, with the
"V" finished in gold for the Bel-Air trim level. This stunning 1957
Chevrolet Bel Air convertible offered here for sale has benefited
from a meticulous frame off restoration finished in code 802
Matador Red paint with a white convertible top. The paint quality
is incredible with a great amount of attention spent during the
restoration on the fit and finish. Open the door and you are
welcomed by equally well restored trim code 683 silver/red
interior. All the bright work on the exterior and interior have
been fully restored and look exceptional. The undercarriage has
been fully detailed with the floor pans painted in a red oxide
primer and the frame painted a satin black paint. Powering this Bel
Air is the optional 283ci/248 V8 with dual four-barrel carburetors
backed by a Powerglide automatic transmission, both wonderfully
detailed and rebuilt to factory specifications. Other options on
the car include power windows, power top, power seat, power
antenna, radio, power steering, power brakes and clock. Since the
completion of the restoration, this car has seen only test mileage
in a fully climate-controlled storage for safe keeping. This
exquisite Bel Air Convertible truly has it all for the collector, a
no expense spared rotisserie restoration, desirable options, and
features, the perfect 1950's livery and excellent provenance, a
truly special car and a rare opportunity. Additional Details: 1957
