1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible

The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is one of the most sought-after classic cars. It remains one of the American icons. The jet age had arrived and with that, Chevrolet introduced rear tail fins that mimicked the jet engine design in military aircraft, along with rocket hood ornaments and chrome headliner bands on the hardtop models.  With the end of an era of car production that produced functional only designs, cars now represented the post war prosperity in America.

This 57 Bel Air is a great find. It has been in the same family for over 20 years. It is a classic car that exudes style and sophistication. The black paint is in excellent condition, and the body is very straight. All chrome and brightwork is very good. There has been no rust repair, and this car has not had rust. The convertible top is in great condition.

The interior is the original interior. Seats are a two-toned combination with silver and red. Interior is in excellent condition and has no rips or tears. The carpet is black and features red floormats, the front floormats have the Chevrolet emblem. The dash and steering wheel are red and in excellent shape. Instruments include a clock and gas gauge.

Under the hood, you'll find a powerful 305 CID engine mounted on the original 283 CID block, 2-barrel intake, and is paired with a smooth 3-speed 350 Turbo Automatic transmission. This Bel Air runs very well and delivers a driving experience that is both exhilarating and refined.

Brakes are the original drum brakes. The steering is manual, but these cars steer very well and handle well during your driving experience.  This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible is a true collector's dream, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history.

This great 57 Tri-Five Chevy is available for viewing by serious buyers only and appointment only. It is in North Carolina near the Hickory area.
