1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible - Lakspur Blue
Show Quality Restoration to "Factory" Appearance
Los Angeles, California Built
Certified "Milestone Car" by the Milestone Car Society
Our seller purchased this beautiful "Larkspur" Blue Convertible from the previous owner, through ClassicAuto Showplace about15 years ago. He and his family have enjoyed untold numbers of classic car shows, events and days of Summer fun and cruising during his stewardship. Limited use in recent years is his reason for letting her go to a new home. It was professionally appraised last year in August at $78,500.00, and it has traveled only, less than 200 miles since. The mileage showing on the odometer is 73,598. The Larkspur Blue Paint is complimented by a TuTone Blue Vinyl Interior and a very rare Larkspur Blue Convertible Top.
A Los Angeles factory built Bel Air, it lived in Idaho before coming to Michigan to live as a pampered fair weather Spring/Summer driver and show car. We have the picture album with numerous historical documents, magazinefeature stories and photographs that came with the car at the time of his purchase. The paint was completely redone in 2008, the suspension and transmission were rebuilt (receipts on file). Overall, it has a very good to excellent show level presentation.
