For Sale: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air in Bellevue, Washington

*1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air Sport Coupe*The Tri-Five Chevrolet represents the ultimate in 1950s American car design. A car that looked like a Cadillac with its large fins and chrome accents, but was affordable to the everyman, these cars are still regarded as some of the most sought after cars of the era. The Bel Air represented the highest trim level and featured additional chrome, upgraded interior appointments and larger engines. This 1957 Bel Air Sport Coupe is a stunning example of the classic model, finished in a stunning Onyx Black over Red/Black two-tone interior combination.This example presents in very nice condition, thanks to a restoration that happened sometime in the late 1990s or early 2000s. Although finished in Onyx Black over Red/Black, the car was originally painted Imperial Ivory, over a Black/Silver interior. Although the restoration is over 20 years old, the car has been used sparingly since, meaning that it remains in very good condition throughout. At the time, this was certainly a very costly refurb on the car, as, in addition to the body and interior, the car received a fully finished undercarriage and the engine bay presents nicely as well. The car now sits on a set of period-correct wide whitewall tires, with original chrome hubcaps on the wheels.The interior is extremely attractive, finished in bright red vinyl with black patterned cloth inserts on both the front and rear bench seats. The door cards are finished to match, and the dashboard and steering wheel are both finished in bright red. The dashboard is very jet-age in its styling with a large central speedometer, and a sizable swath of brushed metal on either side of the steering column. The interior upholstery was finished to a very high level and looks essentially new.Under the hood sits a correct "FC" code engine and gearbox combination. At the time, this was one of the most sought after options in the Bel Air, fitting it with a 283 ci V8, topped with a 4bbl carburetor that was rated at 245 horsepower. Power is then sent through a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission to the rear wheels. This powertrain runs smoothly and pulls strong and looks fantastic under the hood.If you have always wanted a true American Icon in the garage, or are just on the hunt for an attractive cruiser that you can bring your whole family along for a ride in, this 1957 Bel Air could be the perfect car. Presenting in very nice driver condition and ready to be enjoyed, this car would be a perfect addition to any collection.*Key Features* * Restoration in late-1990s-Early 2000s * Purchased by Consignor in 2008 * 283ci V8 w/4BBL Carburetor * 245 Horsepower * 2-Speed Powerglide Transmission * Onyx Black Over Red/Black Interior * AM Radio * Wide White Wall Tires * Dual ExhaustFor more information on this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe or any of our High-Performance, Luxury, Exotic, and Special Interest cars always in stock, contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales consultants or always feel free to drop by our 40,000+ sq ft of Indoor Showrooms in Bellevue, WA - Home of an Exciting Inventory of Luxury, Exotic, High Performance and Collectible Automobiles.
