1957 was the second restyling of the trendsetting 1955 model bringing the styling to new heights. Chevrolet lowered the car and used smaller wheels, plus several other body modifications. The nose and tail were updated with Cadillac-inspired cues, resulting in a baby Eldorado (of sorts) that has remained popular ever since its introduction.
The bored-out, 283 cubic-inch V-8 engine was a popular option and was available in no fewer than six stages of tune. The top option featured a 10.5:1 compression and Rochester fuel injection, as also seen in that year's Corvettes, offering the magical 'one horsepower per cubic inch.'
This Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible is fitted with the '283/283' engine and a Powerglide automatic transmission. There are power brakes, power steering, a one-piece 'California' bumper, a tissue dispenser, tinted glass, polished 'spinner' wheel covers, wide whitewall tires, and 'Bow Tie' floor mats, among other accessories. It is finished in two-tone red and white. The finish is new but the interior remains original, as is the rest of the car. The mileage shows 9,581 with the odometer believed to have been reset at the time of the car's repaint.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2013
