Fullerton, California, United States
|
. 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop with 283 V-8, Powerglide Automatic Transmission, Power Steering, and the most beautiful black paint you ever saw!
A tremendously beautiful car - that black paint is stunning, accented by the correct and authentic red interior.
My Favorite part of the '57 Chevy Styling is the rear quarter panel trim - so flashy, so Fifties, and on this car, so beautiful!
Arrow Straight bodywork too. . Beautiful grille emblem, and I love the Gold Anodyzed trim, just like it was when it left the factory.
Beautiful Chrome!
Wow! Look at that interior! Correct colors and fabrics, and a spectacular dashboard
Look how nice the doorjamb is, and the fresh weatherstripping.
Beautiful Dashboard
More beautiful Dashboard
Excellent door jamb right side.
The Brilliance of the Hardtop design, with no post to interfere with your view, is evident here.
Wow! Beautiful and correct.
. Nicely finished engine bay.
Pretty engine. I noted That, although the hood hinges were restored, the springs are a bit weak, and the hood needs an assist to stay open.
Clean!
Trim Tag.
Nice Clean and correct trunk area. The trunk pan sheetmetal is Solid and rust free, too.
Nicely finished trunk lid
Jack included
Also included are a nice pair of fenderskirts and a car cover
Here's the right side, showing off all that beautiful sheetmetal
OK now that we have a nice clean Epoxy Floor, I can get these photos without ruining my shirt! New Gas tank and exhaust system. It's fairly clean underneath, although it is quite obviously not a frame-off restoration effort, rather a high quality frame-on restoration.
Rockers and floors look nice, solid and original.
Here's the other side, looking good
The engine oil pan, aluminized exhaust, and steering apparatus
Although the trim is beautiful, I noted some flaws / dings in the stainless trim here and there, you can see an example in this photo on the lower stainless trim.
Again, beautiful trim but not perfect trim.
The chrome was all redone, but I noted a few scratches in the back bumper. Hard to see in the photo but they're there.
It's a spectacular car, with great colors, and an excellent driving experience. It runs and drives great, and can be enjoyed and admired by everyone right now!

After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause, such as fraud. However, California law does require the seller to offer a 2 day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details. The prospective purchaser of a vehicle may, at his or her own expense and with the approval of the dealer, have the vehicle inspected by an independent third party either on or off the dealership premises.

North American Car, Truck and SUV of the Year finalists revealed
Thu, Nov 17 2022The finalists for the 2023 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards were announced Thursday at the L.A. Auto Show. — The Acura Integra, Genesis Electrified G80 and Nissan Z made the cut in the car category. — The Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Lordstown Endurance advanced in trucks. — And the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 advanced among utilities. The winners will be announced Jan. 11 in Detroit. The finalists underscored the industryÂ’s shift to electric vehicles, as all three utilities and two of the three trucks are EVs. The finalists were culled from a list of 26 semifinalists made up of three trucks, 10 cars and 16 utility vehicles that are new this year. Notables that missed the cut include the Mercedes EQE, Subaru WRX and Toyota GR Corolla in cars; while the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Rivian R1S were among the utes that did not advance. The three trucks are the only ones eligible this year and have advanced through the voting. 50 jurors who work for media outlets across North America vote three times over the course of the year to whittle down the field, which was originally 47 vehicles. Jurors also test the semifinalists at an October group event in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility vehicle) were the 2022 winners.

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Tue, Feb 11 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
