For Sale: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 Door Sedan

"The '57 Chevrolet goes 'em all one better, with exciting new looks, zippy new power, luxurious new interiors, revolutionary new Turboglide, the newest, smoothest thing in automatic drives and famous Powerglide, proved by billions of miles. These are among the many advances that mark Chevrolet as an important new car in its field. There are twenty stunning models. But that's not all! Now, for the first time, Chevrolet announces fuel injection! This major engineering development entirely eliminates the carburetor. It means you'll experience more usable engine power; performance is more instantly responsive than ever before!" Excerpted from the extensive 1957 sales brochure.

For consignment, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2door sedan showing 5 miles, but the true miles are unknown. The top trim level in '57 proclaimed, "In every new detail the Bel Air series offers luxury far beyond its class". Let's see what this bronze beauty has to offer!

Exterior
And it is Aztec Bronze contrasting with the India Ivory roof of the car, that when combined with the gold trim of the Bel Air, is breathtaking. The white wedge is the perfect complement to the roof and the bold, polished window reveals pick up on the extensive side trim of this classic. Further coordination is achieved by the rims of the 17-inch Rocket Racing wheels and their argent gray spokes offer some tasteful contrast. It's got all the other exterior bells and whistles; the sculpted torpedo hood ornaments, the Dagmar bumpers, the incredible rear fins and epic tail light treatment, and headlights that appear to float within their bezels. At distance flaws are undetectable, but up close we register just a few including some chips, bubbles, general inclusions, dull scuffs over the hood, hood alignment issues, scratches mostly touched up, and some filler evidence at wheel opening.

Interior
This one is sure to wow you, as it did us. Here we have stitched saddle leather on the doors with a J-shaped trim piece that adds a touch of drama and dark brown armrests that add a bit of contrast. The material also covers the split bench and rear seats perfectly with a center console fitting the sculpted seat lower in front, complete with shifter, cup holders, a cubby and three integrated gauges. A wood rimmed sport steering wheel fronts the bronze dashboard and added tachometer while a polished and ribbed mid panel takes in the vintage clock and modern AM/FM/CD radio. Brown carpet covers the floor with matching embroidered mats and the saddle headliner above looks fresh. Finally, the trunk is clean and adorned with a fitted brown mat that matches the interior carpet.

Drivetrain
Polished parts and paint dress the engine bay where we find a V8, 400ci according to our consignor, with FloTek aluminum heads, and Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, and an Edelbrock 4-barrel on top. This potent package is good for a consignor stated 465hp. It's mated to a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission that sends power to 3.36 gears in back. Power steering and headers are on board.

Undercarriage
Uniformly black and clean, here's where the dual exhaust finds a pair of FlowMaster mufflers and exits discreetly in the back. Drum brakes are on all four wheels and suspension consists of coil springs up front and leaf springs in back. We find the underside dry and rust free!

Drive-Ability
Here's a '57 that does everything well and looks pretty good doing it! Point those torpedoes where you want them to go, and the 400 cuber obliges with grand aplomb. The interior is comfortable and supplied with enough modernity to make you feel right at home in 2026, 2027 and beyond! All functions operate as they should on this wedged wonder. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Forever classic, here's a '57 that checks all the boxes and is a stunning example of the premiere vintage car, regarded around the world as the ultimate collector classic car. And what's not to love about the bronze and ivory mix here? Yes, this bronze Tri-Five earns a gold medal in our book!
