For Sale: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air in Lithia Springs, Georgia

Before the serious muscle car era started, there were larger, less potent cars that roamed the streets. These cars had plenty of class and character-and maybe none more so than the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Door Hardtop. Here is one such example with bulky chrome bumpers, big whitewall tires, gold badges and trim, and, of course, the famous tailfins on the rear quarters. This car was built to cruise, pack passengers in with ease, and fill the trunk with cargo or groceries. Originally from Alabama, most of the body on this '57 is solid and believed to be original.

The interior of this vehicle is flashy and stylish. The red upholstery pairs beautifully with the exterior color and gives off a true old-school vibe. The front and rear bench seats are original, as are the door panels, which still present well. The headliner, carpet, and dashboard are in good condition, while the steering wheel and gauge cluster show some age but remain attractive and functional. All of the buttons, knobs, climate controls, and the radio are in their original places. Overall, this is a well-preserved vintage interior that should provide plenty of comfort for both driver and passengers.

The engine bay is clean and straightforward. Power comes from a 283 cubic-inch engine painted Chevy Orange, topped with original-style Chevrolet valve covers. A Brawler 4-barrel carburetor sits on an Edelbrock EPS intake for some added performance. Backing the engine is a 3-speed manual transmission (original three-on-the-tree), sending power to a Chevrolet factory rear end. The suspension features front coil springs with shocks and rear leaf springs with shocks. Coker whitewall tires are mounted on 14-inch wheels with original-style aluminum hubcaps. The brake system is simple, with manual drums front and rear, while the exhaust runs through stock-style manifolds and aftermarket mufflers for a little extra tone.
