THE CHEVROLET BEL-AIR
Of all the '57 Chevrolets that collectors desire, the pinnacle is probably the Bel Air 2-door hardtop. It was ever thus: 166,426 were sold new, three times as many as the convertible and 30,000 more buyers than fancied the brand-new 4-door hardtop. Even today it seems perfectly proportioned, while the rockets on the hood, the fluted side fins and three shields on the front fenders just seem like whimsical details to accent the basic shape.
The interior was improved by a much more focused instrument panel in front of the driver, while the attractive exterior colors, such as Canyon Coral, Tropical Turquoise, Dusk Pearl, Coronado Yellow and Sierra Gold were carried into the interior. Under the hood, the engineers had a field day with eight engine options from the 235 cubic-inch 6-cylinder to the 283 cubic-inch fuel-injected V8 capable of 283 horsepower.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This striking '57 Bel-Air Hot Rod was sparingly used for weekend drives and car meets. The car was regularly taken to events like Hot August Nights in Reno, NV where it would surely turn heads.
The car was gifted with a 502ci Chevrolet Performance engine producing a whopping 461bhp at 5,200rpm and is fed by a large 4-bbl Holley Carburetor. The good stuff continues inside the car with a fully customized chromed dashboard and bi-color leather seats – tan and black – with a tan leather headliner. The shiny American Racing wheels finish the car to give it an enticing street rod look.
As American as baseball, ice cream, and apple pie, this highly modified and upgraded Bel-Air is the quintessential American Hot Rod and the perfect car for parades, tours and meets. Recommissioning and mechanical checks are recommended for safe and sound road use.
