mid-1950s, Chevrolet was building some of the most popular, and
attractive cars on sale. With cars built to fit nearly any need,
their lineup included a variety of coupes, sedans, sports cars,
wagons and trucks. For buyers looking at wagons, their eye was
likely first drawn to the luxurious Nomad that was part of the
Bel-Air trim level, but over twice as many buyers opted for the
less well equipped and far more affordable Handyman Wagon. This
1957 Chevrolet Handyman wagon has been thoroughly hot-rodded in a
pro-touring style. Now finished in a stunning combination of dark
metallic blue with a bright silver roof and rear cove. At the front
and rear are highly polished chrome bumpers, and the hood features
the legendary 1957 Bel Air "hood rockets." With a lowered
suspension, the car sits with a great stance on a set of polished
18-inch American Racing wheels. Move inside the car and custom grey
cloth bench seats are fitted front and rear, and matching cloth
covers the door panels. An adjustable steering column has been
installed and is topped by a 3-spoke leather-wrapped steering
wheel. In front of the driver, a set of Autometer Pro-Comp gauges
give a nice racy look, and provide accurate readouts. An alpine
head unit has also been wired up with a custom sound system that
features a pair of subwoofers in a custom trunk enclosure. Under
the hood sits a 350ci TPI V8 that has been upgraded with ZZ4
aluminum heads, high-lift Crower camshaft and fuel injection
running Big Stuff 3 fuel management system with data logging and
custom tuning. An MSD ignition system has also been fitted for
additional reliability and strong spark. Power is then run through
a custom built heavy duty 700R4 automatic transmission with a 2,200
RPM stall torque converter that works nicely with the cam setup in
the motor. Power disc brakes have also been fitted to the car for
added stopping confidence. The Handyman Wagon may have been a lower
trim level when compared to the Nomad, but with all of these
upgrades, it has become something truly special. For a car that is
sure to draw looks everywhere you go, and be fun to drive with the
whole family, it's hard to do much better than this Chevy!
