Description

1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air Convertible pulled straight out of a 35 year slumber. Aired up the tires and pulled it out into the sunshine for the first time in over three decades. This car was was in the Garfield movie: Garfield in Paradise. Car was not actually driven into the volcano. Back to seriousness, it's a time capsule car and situation. The owner passed quite a few years ago and the children who inherited the collection have not been ready to sell until now. You all are getting the first shot at this. Car needs gone through and brought back to life. We hooked a battery up and everything lit up and worked. Engine spins but we did not try to put gas to it. We didnt want to do much more than make sure it's free and it is. Car is museum ready but shows its age. The laquer paint is starting to crack but the body is so rust free and straight, it's almost like a dream. Throw a weekend at this car and you'll be cruising like Buddy Holly. Dont let this chance slip. Its priced to sell and we are leaving plenty on the table for you to make your money. I would say bumpers need rechromed and some window trim, also. It used to be a show car. It will be very soon again. True barn find here, enjoy.
