1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

Description

The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is an iconic design that we'd all love to show off everywhere and every day. But the limitations of a classic car often limit their comfortable use...However, this one is quite different. The factory-correct and well preserved look is balanced out with great upgrades like an overdrive transmission and air conditioning.

While we love all Tri-Five Chevys, we all know the '57 is king. With the jet-inspired ornaments on the hood, wide "V" under the Chevrolet badging, and the extra long tailfin trim, it's an American icon. Of course, it also helps to have a car that looks this distinctive. Thanks to the factory-correct Sierra Gold and contrasting Adobe Beige that looks so authentic, it could possibly be original. Also, when the light is just right, the brightwork comes to life accenting the lines that give this four-door sedan its true wow factor. You already know that chrome isn't cheap, and the '57 is literally covered in it. So one of the first things to make sure is when shopping for one of these icons is that all the trim is complete and present as it is here. In fact, a car that represents the '50s so well has certainly earned its whitewall tires.

Inside, you'll find one of the most striking factory color combinations. The copper and beige of the exterior are utilized again inside, and now they're also joined by a textured black insert on the seats and door panels. There are crisp, clean gauges behind the highly stylized Bel Air steering wheel. Plus, the rest of the chrome on the dash looks amazing and complete, which is exactly what you want in an icon like this. But more than just look great in its factory-correct colors, this one has the benefit of genuine comfort and convenience. It comes from nice subtle upgrades, like the retrosound AM/FM/cassette player that looks like a classic radio but really is a modern stereo with digital tuner. And since a Bel Air is meant for cruising, you have modern R134a air conditioning to keep you comfortable even when the windows are down.

Part of what makes these cars a legend is that the Tri-Fives were the ones to introduce the Chevy small block V8. So you'll be happy to lift the hood to reveal what is believed to be the original 283 cubic-inch motor. This is fully decked out with all the right pieces, like a four-barrel carburetor for better power, and an aluminum radiator to keep this A/C sedan running cool in all situations. Plus, there has been all the right investments in service over the last few years, including new front coil springs & shocks, rear leaf springs & shackles, exhaust manifolds, and much more. We bet this one is starting to sound like a great car to go cruising in, and that's before we even mention the upgrades like power steering, front disc brakes, and a 700r4 four-speed automatic. This highway-friendly overdrive transmission means you can travel near or far with ease.

An iconic Bel Air with A/C, overdrive, and a terrific color combo. This is the best of everything, and since the price is so affordable, you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call now!!
