Finished in a white exterior, the paint and trim are in excellent condition. The windows are in very good order overall, but there are blemishes visible on the rear window. The car's lights are clear and intact and it rolls on new aftermarket wheels in a starburst pattern, surrounded by 235/40R18 tires. The hood, trunklid, roof, fenders and doors are all straight and solid and the bumpers are in great shape.
The engine bay is tidy and underneath that white hood is a 350 CID V-8, the famous Chevy small block engine, fitted with a Holley carburetor and breathes through dual exhausts. Backing the engine is a three-speed automatic transmission. Driver assist features included power steering, power brakes and power seats.
Inside, the custom interior looks great. The black front buckets and rear seat look great, as does the matching carpet. Those bucket seats are powered and each one has an airbag. The headliner looks good and the instrument panel gleams. The original two-spoke steering wheel is present and looks good, as do the inner door panels and shift lever. There is a Super Tach tachometer tucked into the left corner of the dashboard. Rounding out the interior are a RetroSound AM/FM stereo and a clock.
The 1957 Chevrolet was introduced in September 1956. It was available in three series models: the upscale Bel Air, the mid-range Two-Ten and the One-Fifty. An upscale trim option called the "Delray" was available for Two-Ten two-door sedans. It is a popular and sought after classic car. These vehicles are often restored to their original condition and sometimes modified. The car's image has been frequently used in toys, graphics, music, movies and television. The '57 Chevy, as it is often known, is an auto icon.
The 1957 Bel-Air is among the most recognizable American cars of all time; well-maintained examples, especially Sport Coupes and Convertibles are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. They are roomy, with tastefully restrained, period use tail fins and chrome. A second automatic transmission, Turboglide, was optional. While the original two-speed Powerglide continued unchanged, Turboglide provided a continuously variable gear ratio, which made "shifting" imperceptible. The shift quadrant on Turboglide cars followed a "P R N D Gr" pattern. Gr = Grade Retarder.
Competition to this Chevrolet in 1957 included DeSoto's Firesweep two-door, Dodge's Royal Lancer, Ford's Fairlane Club Victoria, Hudson's Hornet Super Hollywood, Mercury's Monterey Phaeton Coupe, Nash's Ambassador and Oldsmobile's Super 88 Holiday Coupe.
