1957 Chevrolet Bel Air chassis information. 5266

Exterior Photos

The 1957 Chevy is the car everybody knows. Maybe it's the fins. Maybe it's because - in the Sixties - every high school kid wanted one. Ford actually outsold Chevrolet in 1957, but the '57 Chevy has been called 'the most popular used car in history.' That's staying power.

With its 'baby Cadillac' style and powerful V-8 engine options, the 1957 really was - to quote a Chevy ad of the day - 'sweet, smooth and sassy.'

This Bel Air convertible is equipped with the desirable 283 'Power Pack' engine and three-speed transmission with overdrive. It is refinished in its original (and rare) colors of Surf Green, matching interior and green convertible top. Options include power seat and power windows.

This car spent 20 years in a Wyoming wrecking yard before the current owner acquired it in 1988. An extensive restoration was completed in 1997.
