In the vast history of the autoverse, few cars can match the levels
of love, allure, and dedication that a '57 Chevy commands. While
all three Tri-Fives are fan favorites to the Bowtie faithful, one
look at this gorgeous 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 Door Sedan and it's
easy to see why this car is on so many collectors' bucket lists.
Fully repainted in this high-end Red repaint, this excellently
restored Bel Air comes with all of its correct chrome and badging,
along with a few tasteful upgrades to make it the perfect weekend
getaway car for its next lucky owner.
Complementing that vibrant exterior is a warm and inviting two-tone
red-and-black interior. A period-correct front bench seat leaves
plenty of room to spread out, while a correct two-spoke, dual-rim,
power-assisted steering wheel sits ahead of a correct three-pod
gauge cluster featuring a big 120-mph speedometer, while an added
Bosch temperature gauge sits under the dash, out of the way. A
RetroSounds AM/FM/AUX head unit that sits in its original position
without upsetting the classic ambiance that makes this car feel so
special. This car is set up for air conditioning, although it needs
servicing to blow cold again, the majority of the hard work is
already done.
Under the hood, we find a clean engine bay with a 350-cubic-inch
V-8. That small block is fed by a single Carter AFB Competition
Series four-barrel carburetor topped by a factory intake manifold,
while an aluminum radiator and electric fan keep things running
cool. A stock-style exhaust manifold feeds into an awesome and
unexpectedly fun side-exit exhaust, giving this retro ride an
authentic sound like no other. That power is routed through a 700R4
four-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to the
factory rear end.

This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 Door Sedan rides on a factory-style
suspension, while polished 15-inch Cragar SS wheels, shod in
215/70R-15 BFGoodrich rubber, complete the hot rod look perfectly.
Behind those head-turning wheels are power disc brakes sitting at
all four corners, ready to scrub off speed at a moment's notice. If
