The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is a legendary symbol of the American
classic car culture. The '57 was the final year of Chevrolet's
"Tri-Five" series (1955-1957) and is widely regarded as the most
stylish of the three. The Bel Air featured bold design elements
such as a wide chrome grille, prominent tailfins, hooded
headlights, and distinctive gold anodized trim. This stunning '57
Bel Air is a beautiful tribute of sorts, a tribute to the rarest of
'57s - the Fuel Injected convertible. It is believed that the
factory produced only 68 of these iconic models, and this Bel Air
pays homage to each.
Top-Shelf Restoration -
The owner states that the Chevy was the beneficiary of a meticulous
frame-off restoration in 2014. (A binder of restoration
receipts/service is included with the car.) The Onyx Black exterior
was professionally reshot with a 2-stage finish. The exceptional
body is stunning, and all chrome/trim looks new. Steel wheels
display factory spinner hubcaps and mount 14" wide-white bias-ply
tires. The continental tire package, dual rear antennae and gold
accent trim complete the handsome exterior. The only thing that
rivals the exterior is the restored interior. Every detail has been
addressed. Matador Red/Silver upholstery, door cards, dashboard,
carpeting - all look virtually new. The dash even holds the
original model AM radio. A new convertible top is power assisted
and folds neatly into a storage area that is fitted with a classic
tonneau cover.
Small-Block 283 with Rochester FI -
Based on the owner's input, horsepower is furnished by a rebuilt
283ci engine that is equipped with 'Power Pack' bump-heads and
Rochester fuel injection. It has the muted rumble of a Gen1 small
block through a mellow dual exhaust system. The 283 is backed by a
2-speed PowerGlide that shifts smoothly. The chassis looks just as
nice as the exterior and is equipped with power steering and
4-wheel manual drum brakes.
This handsome Bel Air convertible is a classic showroom piece that
continues to increase in value - it belongs in your Bowtie
garage.
