Vehicle Description
We can't think of a better way to look both sinister and vintage
than this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop with its glossy black
paint, plenty of chrome, four-on-the-floor, and a small block V8
under the hood. So when you find a total package coupe like this,
you know it's time to take notice.
It's hard to go wrong with a '57 Chevy hardtop, and by avoiding the
two-tone treatment, this one skews more towards the look of a
serious street machine. These coupes are an American icon, and so
the ones done correctly draw extra attention at the car shows.
That's why there was some time spent getting the brightwork correct
- from the beautiful bumpers, to the iconic sweeping sides, to the
gold anodized pieces that are hint at the V8 under the hood.
There's even a set of bright dual exhaust tips that serve as a
little hint to some upgraded power under the hood. Of course, if
it's aggressive accessories you want, the Cragar solid wheels are
the perfect touch without losing that vintage feeling.
The black and gray interior has a great dark and bright appearance
that feels like it almost mirrors the outside in both color and
premium execution. The button-top pattern on the seats looks
period-correct for this '57 Chevy, which always looks great. But
once you get behind the wheel, you start to notice some nice
upgrades. The wood and chrome Lecarra steering wheel is a nice
premium touch. Plus, the knob-style radio fits nicely into the
original bright chrome instrument panel, and the AM/FM/cassette
unit with digital tuner is far more useful. And the items like the
trio of auxiliary gauges and Hurst shifter instantly tell you that
this iconic classic is also a true driver's coupe.
The Tri-Five Chevys were the dawn of the small block, but they were
never given anything like this. It starts with a larger 327
cubic-inch V8, and it has been further enhanced with performance
components such as an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and an
Edelbrock aluminum intake. These upgrades feed the glasspack dual
exhaust that gives this Bel Air the proper power and sound you
expect from one of these legends, but that's not the whole story.
You are in complete control of the enhanced V8 and its thunderous
soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. Plus, this
one was built to also be a comfortable driver with features like
power steering, a new power brake booster, and front disc
brakes.
This one has the appearance, stance, and features you want when
it's time to drive an icon with attitude. It's turnkey ready to be
your head-turner. So don't miss out, call today!
