Chrome, jet-age styling and rising horsepower drove the American automotive market during the late 1950s, and no automobile combined these three elements better than Chevrolet’s 1957 Bel Air convertible. Its unique styling and distinctive interior and exterior trimmings gave the impression of speed even while the car was at rest, and a large (and growing) list of factory options provided buyers with an unprecedented opportunity to personalize their own Chevrolet.
This amazing Bel Air has won many national first place awards including a preservation award. The extensive 7 year restoration created one of the best 1957 Chevrolets on the planet. All genuine GM NOS parts were used in the over $200,000 restoration and it is an incredible example. The engine is the 283ci fuel-injected V8 with a 3-speed manual transmission. It runs, drives and shifts like new and will not disappoint. It features power windows, AM radio, power seat, continental kit, dual antennas, fender skirts, wide whitewall tires, spinner hubcaps and a black vinyl convertible top. It has just 518 miles since the restoration and looks like it did the day it left the factory. It comes with an owner’s manual and fuel injection manual. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the finest examples available.
