1957 Chevrolet 150 Coupe 454 V8 3 Speed Automatic Classic Vintage Collector

Description for Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 1957

Iconic on the outside, custom on the inside, and a powerful big block under the hood â€" you might have already fallen in love at first sight with this 1957 Chevrolet 150 post coupe, but it only gets better the deeper you dig. This car has been built to be a street machine, and you know that from the first impression. The maroon has a deeper, more modern finish. Plus, there are nice details like the lowered suspension...and louvers on the hood and trunk. And the 150 model comes with some great distinction. After all, it retains the best iconic '57 Chevy items, including the sharp tailfins and the iconic front end that still shines like a mirror. But only the 150 line came with the '55 Bel Air's side trim for added distinction. In fact, people might be paying so much attention to the details, the they might not notice how much wider the rear wheels are. You need that extra rubber, because that's where the enhanced power meets the ground (more on that in a moment.) Inside is plenty of classic style with some interesting upgrades. For example, the leather seats and center console are far too advanced to be from '57, but they are borrowed from later cars in the GM family. Plus, the front buckets are even power adjustable for added comfort. You also have a grippy Grants sports steering wheel, auxiliary readouts, and an upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo with digital tuner. But even with all these additions, nothing gets in the way of the vintage feeling that comes from the classic-style dash and all the brightwork. The shoebox Chevys might be famous for launching the small block V8s, but this coupe proves that the big blocks fit in there, too. Having a 454 cubic-inch V8 filling the engine bay would usually be enough for most people, but this one goes much further with go-fast upgrades such as a Holley dual-feed four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock performer intake, HEI ignition, aluminum radiator w/electric fan, and long tube headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. So you know you've got some serious power backing up the hot rod image, and the TH400 three-speed automatic transmission is stout enough to handle it all. But more than just a motor, this build includes great driving features like power steering and front disc brakes. This delivers iconic looks while also giving you a comfy custom interior and a strong-running big block to eat the streets. That makes for an enticing total package that's ready to run right now.
