In 1955 Chevrolet began production of the second generation of the
Bel Air. Chevrolets produced from 1955 to 1957 are commonly
referred to as "Tri-Five" Chevrolets. Interestingly enough, each
year of the "Tri-Five" Chevrolets can be differentiated by their
unique front end. For the 1957 model year, Chevrolet once again
chose to restyle their car, this time it was in an effort to
compete with the all-new 1957 Ford. The redesigned Chevrolets
featured design cues borrowed from Cadillac. The car was very well
received, and today the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has gained the
reputation as one of the most iconic cars of the �50s.
This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Townsman Wagon is the four-door
version, while the Nomad name was reserved for the two-door Bel Air
wagons this year. This car is presented in red with beautiful
accenting brightwork throughout the vehicle. The car rides on
BFGoodrich tires which are mounted on steel wheels with
factory-style hubcaps. Additional exterior features include the
distinctive rear fender detail panels, side window wind and rain
guards, dual sideview mirrors and dual exhaust. The wagon is
powered by a 283-cid V-8 engine which is connected to a
column-shift automatic transmission. The interior is completed in
gray and features front and rear bench seating.
