Description:This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is an icon with a full midnight black attitude, upgraded V8 power, and control of the four-on-the-floor.
This coupe has straight body panels, good panel gaps, pliable weather-stripping, and clean glass. And there\'s eye-catching shine from brightwork, right down to the bumper and grille combo that makes the \'57 Bel Air so special. So it has the right fundamentals that you want in a classic cool-cruising \'57 Chevy. In fact, this one really likes the idea of being a driver\'s car. After all, it has all the best elements of an icon, including the pillarless hardtop profile, a cool black finish, and the full-length body trim that ends in the hallmark bright tailfin inserts. Plus, there are the right added touches of street machine style like the polished dual exhaust tips and 15-inch slotted mags that let you fit some nice tires for a better driver\'s coupe.
The interior follows the exterior\'s lead and delivers a dark style. The fundamentals, like the carpet and headliner, are in great shape. And the bench seat has a cool tuck-and-roll style. Overall, it\'s accommodating without getting fancy, and that means you\'ll happily let everyone hop in on a whim and go for a drive. There are even nice cruiser additions, like auxiliary temp readouts, an AM/FM cassette radio, and upgraded stereo speakers. And there\'s always something extra fun about grabbing a cue ball floor shifter.
While the Tri-Fives launched the small block V8 era, the 350 cubic-inch V8 under the hood here is larger than anything the factory was offering in \'57. More than just an upgraded displacement, this also has a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Offenhauser aluminum intake, and headers feeding the glasspack dual exhaust. You have complete control over this power and its rumbling soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual transmission.
The \'57 Bel Air hardtop is an everlasting icon that always seems to go for big money. This one is a more reasonably priced example, and that\'s for a good reason. You get a nice base for today, and it also lets you leave some left in the budget if you want to overhaul the motor for better/consistent power, upgrade the color, or add cruiser-ready power features to areas like the steering and brakes. So the idea is you get your hands on a good legend, and you even have the ability to make it even more personal. That\'s a winner for many of us. Call now!
