Vehicle Description
Rarer than a Bel Air coupe, this 1957 Chevrolet 150 post sedan has
all the right iconic looks, bold paint, serious V8 power, and a
fully independent suspension. It's a custom and thoughtful build
that shows us what happens when someone invests in quality.
Competition Yellow is the exact right color for this classic. There
were yellows available from the factory, but this is far bolder...
and that sets the theme correctly for this Chevy. The yellow has an
excellent glow that rolls evenly in the sunshine, which tells you
there was the right kind of investment in getting this modern sunny
color applied correctly. This might be a 150 model, but the side
trim is borrowed from the iconic Bel Air. It looks fantastic as a
bridge from the huge front chrome end to the highly stylized
tailfins. And let's face it, when all of it is as complete and
correct as this one, you know you go out cruising just to grab some
serious attention. But more than just aesthetics, this one gets its
fundamentals right, too. The glass is clean and clear; the panels
line up nicely; and the doors shut with authority. It's a cool
cruiser with an anytime driving attitude.
Inside is a major upgrade from the 1950s. The front seats look like
they were borrowed from the Chevy's later strato bucket design, and
then given extra bolstering for all-day comfort. These white vinyl
seats nicely match the rear, door panels, and headliner for a very
uniform appearance. In fact, the interior and exterior colors come
together so nicely on the dash that you will surely love the look
of this thoughtful build. Even the classic style radio is a more
modern AM/FM unit with digital tuner so you can have more modern
tunes in your very vintage ride. You slip behind the wood and
chrome sports steering wheel, and it instantly becomes apparent
that this is a driver's car. You get a full set of gauges that
include an auxiliary Bosch tach and a trio of additional readouts.
Plus, the B&M shifter will be you new favorite place to rest
your right hand.
You might want to grab your sunglasses before opening the hood,
because just about everything that is not matching the bold yellow
has been polished to a mirror shine. And once you look beyond the
style, you'll also see a nice investment in making this classic a
strong runner. The bold-looking block is a Chevy 350 cubic-inch
motor that includes go-fast goodies like a Holley four-barrel
carburetor, performance intake, Comp Cams performance cam, Accel
ignition, and aluminum radiator w/electric fan. This enhanced V8
exhales deeply through long tube headers that feed the rumbling
dual exhaust. All the power has no trouble getting to the ground
thanks to a stout three-speed automatic transmission. And while
you're looking everything over, don't forget the undercarriage
photos. There you will see an enhanced front suspension and an
independent rear unit � a true rarity for these shoebox Chevys.
That gives this classic exceptional handling compared to its peers,
and just to make sure it's an all-around stunner, there's also
four-wheel disc brakes and the grip of Goodyear RS-A tires on those
17-inch alloys.
This Chevy 150 has rarity, beautiful colors, and some serious
performance for the streets. It's everything you want in one iconic
design. So hurry before someone else grabs your dream Chevy. Call
