Take a close look at this one and they are hard to find with similar equipment, especially in this condition!

An icon in American automotive design known throughout the world! Considered the junior Cadillac to consumers, it possessed the classic 1950’s rear fins, plenty of trim to polish from front to back, and a very handsome look overall! Chevrolet called it “Sweet, Smooth, and Sassy!” in their advertising copy. Words that continue to ring true today, and a perfect embodiment of young mid-Fifties America!

We are delighted to offer this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible finished in factory correct Matador Red (802) over code correct Red & Silver interior (683) and White convertible top! This nicely optioned example comes with all the desired equipment including a 283ci-4V V8 Power Pack engine, Powerglide automatic transmission, and original rear end fitted with 3.36 gearing! Options include power convertible top, 14” wheels with full spinner wheel covers, BF Goodrich Silvertown 4-ply wide whitewall radial tires measuring 7.50×14, factory power brakes, power steering, rear continental kit, tinted windshield & side glass, front bumper guards, rear fender skirts, rocker trim, rear trunk lid trim, dual exhaust with chrome tips, electric wipers, working original Wonderbar AM radio with front fender-mounted antenna, functional electric clock, reverse lights, carpeted floor mats, and so much more!

The full body-off restoration of this example was completed with superb results! The exterior paint was beautifully refinished and continues to look quite sharp with only a few areas showing indications of being driven & enjoyed! Under the hood, you will see it nicely detailed with correct date-coded components including the Carter carburetor, Delco generator charging system with power steering, factory Bendix power brake assembly, air cleaner assembly, ram horn exhaust manifolds, GM hoses, decal stickers, and more! Underneath, you will clearly see a showworthy presentation with red oxide floors, painted chassis, all new components, mounting hardware, exhaust system, etc. It would show well at any Tri-five Chevrolet event!

This Bel Air convertible runs down the road wonderfully! It starts effortlessly, no smoke from the engine, and shifts smooth through the gears! The body, chassis, and overall structure remain in outstanding condition and retain their original VIN plate and firewall cowl tag! Today the odometer shows only 9,580 miles which are believed to be miles traveled since completion of the restoration. It will be sold mileage exempt on the title for this reason. Included in the trunk will be extra spare tire hold down equipment, original jack with base, tire iron, and rubber floor mat. If you have been looking for a car that fulfills the experience of driving a classic 1950’s convertible, the iconic Chevrolet Bel Air should head straight to the top of your list! This example provides an outstanding opportunity for the astute collector and driver enthusiast! Please feel free to call with additional questions. Thanks for looking!
