Description:
1957 Chevrolet 150 2-Door Sedan Full of spunk, but beautifully behaved, the \'57 Chevy! It doesn\'t just look sweet, smooth and sassy, it is! And you get sports car control behind the wheel, a solid, sure footed feel on the road, smooth and easy response to every command. That\'s why you get more of a lift out of driving a \'57 Chevy. It\'s pep and easy handling make it fun too! From a print ad for the \'57 Chevy line. For consignment, a 1957 Chevrolet 150 2-door sedan showing 31,198 miles but the true miles are unknown. Here\'s a fantastic example, clean inside and out, classic lines, and a unique color. It was fully restored way back in 1975 and is not over the top with concours level fastidiousness. It\'s one you can drive! Exterior Single stage Mustard Gold paint accented with both the classic trim of a \'57 that includes massive chrome bumpers front and rear. If there\'s a better, more interesting trim feature than the torpedo shaped ornaments embedded in the hood that front rounded rises which travel rearward, we can\'t think of it. The torpedo vibe is doubled by the rubber bump stops pointed your way, and the amber inboard marker lights really pop in front of the grated grille. 14-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels with knock offs look sharp and wear 215/70R14 tires that keep the car correctly level. That gold B-pillar makes this a sedan and gives this hefty car visual strength as the long roof slopes to the curved rear window with straight A-pillars that take in the curved front. Imperfections include cracking paint, chips, bubbling, peeling, and some touched up mars. Interior Keeping it simple on the inside, smooth black vinyl covers most of it, beginning with the door panels, flat and wrinkle free with no gaudy trim. The split bench in front and the full bench in back are basic black with no stitching or tufting and in nice condition save for a surface crack near where the upper and lower meet. A wooden three spoke sports wheel shares the column with a rather old school tachometer, just in front of the standard instrument cluster, clean, neat, and symmetrical and an AM radio is also embedded in the dash, all with a slight patina we don\'t mind at all! A floor mounted Hurst shifter rises from the depths of black loop carpet and the stitched black headliner is in good shape. The trunk is nicely painted and wears a fitted rubber mat. Drivetrain Under the hood, a driver quality engine our consignor states is a 327ci V8 with a Holley 4-barrel carb and mated to a Muncie M20 4-speed manual sending power to the 3.55 gears in back. Drum brakes fit the front and rear wheels. Undercarriage Driver quality underneath as well with a fair share of surface rust on the typical components, oil on the pan, transmission and rear differential, as well as some oil sling on the floor boards. There\'s some grease build up too with some thick, sooty stuff occupying the knuckles. Dual exhaust flows through some bright red Cherrybomb mufflers, then find their way to the atmosphere via straight chrome tips out back. Suspension is configured as coil springs up front and leaf springs in back. Drive-Ability This straightforward ride provides a comfortable perch and a great greenhouse that offers amazing visibility over the large horizontal surfaces and leading edges of this big car. The 327 sounds great and runs well and with decent power, as well as great tracking and handling, fine braking, and lots of head and leg room. Only the tach and wipers are inoperable and everything else in the car works as it should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. Great paint and metal, a very nice interior, and driver condition qualities that will urge you to get out and drive this one. No worries about a little dirt here or there, it\'s simple enough to be driven and classic enough to be admired. And t
