1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible in Las Vegas, Nevada

Chassis No. VC57J137483
Engine No. T1125FC

The 1957 Bel Air was introduced as the pinnacle of the celebrated Tri-Five era of Chevrolet's premium full-size lineup, offering the most refinements in style, comfort, and power. Distinguished by its bolder grille, dramatic hood rockets, full-disc wheel covers, and signature gold anodized trim, the '57 Bel Air carried an unmistakable presence that set it apart from its predecessors. New powertrain and trim options made the new Bel Air more tailor-made than ever. The cockpit was further enriched as well: the Jacquard cloth and vinyl seats were redesigned with more comfort in mind, the door-mounted armrests were enlarged, and the seat tracks were modified to allow taller occupants more head and leg room.

This 1957 Bel Air Convertible has been restored in its original and desirable exterior color of Highland Green over a Green interior. It is equipped with comfort and drivability in mind: sporting power brakes, power steering, and the Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission, as well as the coveted Continental Kit. Under the hood is the top shelf Tonawanda-built FC-code 283 cubic-inch Super Turbo-Fire V8 producing 220 horsepower and equipped with the Power Pak, which adds a four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust.

This Bel Air has undergone a complete restoration and afterwards it was donated to the iconic Petersen Automotive Museum of Los Angeles, California. It is now offered with 45,947 miles at the time of cataloging. Well-appointed with sought-after features and in its original stunning color, this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible exemplifies the very qualities that earned the '57 Chevrolet its legendary status among American classics.
