Description for Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 1957

You stopped to look at this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air sedan because of its great period-correct appearance inside and out. After all, we all love an icon that's presented like all the shades of a deep blue ocean. But what will really wow you and everyone else is the period-correct (believed original) V8 that's topped with a four-barrel. So there's true power behind the compelling looks. Larkspur Blue and India Ivory are such a great '57-correct color combo that it's... practically what we all see when asked to imagine a Bel Air. The two-tone has a regal appearance that perfectly captures Chevy's top-of-the-line sedan. So we are glad someone took the time to professionally add the paintwork when this was given a full restoration around its mid-life. That's why this one shines a bit brighter when the sunshine hits the body. It's also why the sheetmetal is so straight, and you can close any door with confident authority. That's all the parts that tell you brain this is a solid buy. And your heart will instantly fall in love the moment the sunlight radiates off of the '57s iconic grille. And as the sunshine rolls over all that chrome and correct gold anodized trim, you instantly realize why this one is worth every penny. But don't forget to look at the details - this one seems to get it correct, right down to the factory-style wheel covers with whitewalls that makes this the ideal '50s machine. Inside, is more great blue to continue a striking appearance. The seats are quite intricate with two shades of blue vinyl and a comfortable textured black insert for where you sit. This coordinates nicely with the door panels and headliner. Plus, the dash and steering wheel unite the exterior blue with the deeper interior tone - like we said the total package feels like a deep blue ocean. The fundamentals are quite good on this one with crisp gauges and a clean dash that highlights plenty of brightwork. But while the whole interior feels period-correct, there are some nice subtle upgrades. For example, the bright knob-style radio hides a more modern retrosound unit with provisions for a digital tuner and cassette player. Plus, your seat is now power adjustable to easily get you in the cruising mood. Part of what makes these cars a legend is that the Tri-Fives were the ones to introduce the Chevy small block V8. So you'll be happy to lift the hood to reveal what is believed to be the original 283 cubic-inch motor. And with the bright block, the cursive script on the valve covers, and huge factory oil bath air cleaner on top, everyone will have no trouble believing its originality. In fact, the air cleaner is quite important to Chevy people. It's a specific one that signals there's a four-barrel carburetor sitting underneath. And you'll love that Rochester Quadrajet every time you want an extra kick of power when you're out enjoying this Bel Air. Plus, there has been all the right investments in service over the last few years. So the motor fires up easily, and it cruises comfortably with the three-speed automatic transmission. Add in power steering and power brakes, and you know why this is an in-demand Chevy. Complete with the owner's manual, build receipts, and maintenance records, this is an iconic classic that you'll be proud to drive to the cruise-in. So at this price, you know you have to act fast.
