Vehicle Description
Iconic on the outside, custom on the inside, and a powerful V8
under the hood - you might have already fallen in love at first
sight with this 1957 Chevrolet 210 post coupe, but it only gets
better the deeper you dig.
A '57 Chevy like this looks its best when in a period-correct color
like the pastel blue you see here. It only gets better with a total
package that takes advantage of the shine that comes from a more
modern paint application. Plus, the super-straight sheetmetal gives
the color a great canvas. The 210s from this year had almost as
much trim as the Bel Airs, so it wasn't hard to finish the job of
looking like one with acres of chrome and stainless that have a
mirror-like quality. This includes the wide grille and bumper
package with Dagmars as large as the headlights; the full-length
body trim that ends in the iconic bright tailfins; and the American
Racing Torq Thrust wheels, which have always been a great way to
dress up a powerful classic for generations.
The moment you open the door, the two-tone interior will make you
(and everyone else) instantly realize there has been a serious
investment in customization. It starts with the modern leather
bucket seats that have the kind of bolstering to give you an
individual level of comfort that they could have never provided in
'57. The color on the seats are the perfect complement to the
custom door panels, as well as matching carpet, headliner, and
center console - it is truly a thoughtful and uniform build! The
vintage dash even has an upgraded AM/FM radio that allows you to
plug in the most modern music players. But more than just looking
great, you will notice plenty of upgrades that are
performance-oriented. It includes the Camaro-style sports steering
wheel, tach under the tilt steering column, and the B&M
shifter. This lets you know there is something special under the
hood, even before you twist the key and hear the dual exhaust
growl.
Part of what makes these cars a legend is that the Tri-Fives were
the ones to introduce the Chevy small block V8. So when you open
the hood, you'll love to see this heritage continued, but with a
larger, more powerful motor. The 350 cubic-inch V8 looks great with
the big orange block and shine off the valve covers and air topper.
But when you look beyond the style, you'll discover the substance
of all the right performance upgrades, including a Holley
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, aluminum
radiator, and headers that feed the rumbling Flowmaster dual
exhaust. And while all this makes for a great performer with a
wicked sound, there's a lot more to this build. For example, the
TH350 three-speed automatic transmission is stout enough to handle
all of the enhanced power, and it's also great for comfortable
cruising, too. Plus, features like the CPP power steering, modern
grip of Michelin tires, and the upgraded drilled and slotted front
disc brakes are all part of a great anytime driving package.
Beautifully blue on the outside, custom leather on the inside, and
plenty of performance beneath the vintage surface - this is quite a
special Chevy. That's why you know you need to hurry if you want to
make it yours. Call today!!!
