Considered the junior Cadillac to consumers, it possessed the classic 1950’s rear fins, plenty of trim to polish from front to back, and a very handsome look overall! Chevrolet called it “Sweet, Smooth, and Sassy!” in their advertising copy. Words that continue to ring true today, and a perfect embodiment of young mid-Fifties America! We are delighted to offer this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible finished in desired Onyx Black over code correct Red & Silver interior with matching Black convertible top! This highly optioned example comes with all the desired looks and charm of a stock Bel Air, but hides an upgraded drivetrain underneath its original exterior! Powered by a crate 350ci V8 fitted with an original GM intake and Rochester Quadrajet carburetor, Turbo-Hydramatic 700R4 4-speed overdrive transmission, and original 1957 rear end! Options include air conditioning, power front brakes, power rack & pinion steering, 14” wheels with full spinner wheel covers, rear fender skirts, rocker trim, dual rear antennas, dual outside mirrors, door handle paint protectors, brand new dual exhaust, electric wipers, front/rear seatbelts, trumpeted exhaust, original AM radio with fender-mounted antenna, and so much more! The exterior paint was beautifully refinished in high gloss black (originally Coronado Yellow) and looks excellent! In addition, all four steel wheels were fitted with brand new Coker Classic radial tires accented perfectly by full wheel covers with decorative spinners! Under the hood, you will see it nicely detailed with only the dual master brake booster, chrome air cleaner & valve covers, and modern air conditioning components giving any hints to the changes underneath! This Bel Air convertible runs down the road superbly! The air conditioner blows cold and the factory gauges are all functional. It shifts super smooth and the power rack & pinion steering offers effortless lane management and parking maneuverability! If you have been looking for a car that fulfills the experience of driving a classic 1950’s convertible, but needed the extra confidence of a more modern drivetrain, this car should head straight to the top of your list! This Bel Air provides an outstanding opportunity for the astute collector and driver enthusiast! Please feel free to call with additional questions. Thanks for looking!
