1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hard Top

Description

Looking sharp and running strong, this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air represents one of the most storied American classics of all time. Refreshed in its original Onyx Black that's ornamented with an assembly of shiny chrome and eye-catching gold lettering, this is a vintage car that absolutely demands attention. While some of its counterparts have survived through the years, not many of them can match this Chevy's surprisingly vital appearance - take a lap around and you'll be impressed by its precise exterior alignment and the clean, clear glass that surrounds the cabin. It has a great stance - slightly inclined, but nothing too drastic - and a set of Cragar S/S wheels adds a nice aftermarket detail. Inside, the black and red interior mixes vinyl and cloth and accurately reflects the ornate style of the mid-'50s to offer a compelling driving environment. Many classic car aficionados will argue that a vintage ride is made to be driven and not just admired like a museum piece, and this '57 stands ready for just that. Its period-correct drivetrain includes a 283 cubic inch V8 that's in strong running form and pairs with a 2-speed automatic transmission that shifts without issue. Quite a number of mechanical components have been replaced to ensure a level of dependability you'll appreciate as you hit the road, including the wiring harness, alternator, and torque converter. An aftermarket aluminum radiator and electric fan now sit at the front of the engine compartment to ensure this classic Chevy doesn't get overheated during its travels. Power brakes that now include discs up front provide a level of stopping ability suitable for frequent driving.
