1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible

Description

This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible represents the best of everything. The bright body has all the finest classic details. The matching interior has amazing upgrades like power windows and A/C. And the engine is an upgraded small block that's mated to an overdrive transmission.

A '57 Bel Air drop-top makes you stop and stare because it is a true icon of the open road. It's a perpetually in-demand classic, and this one has been given a ton of the right investments over its long-term ownership. That's why this one has its own gravity when it comes to attraction. This 1957 was born in Tropical Turquoise, so its great to see it still wearing its original color! It has been reprayed later in life which gives it an updated and radiant look in the sunshine. And while that shows off the curves you love, the real shining attraction is the brightwork. It's iconic with the big front end w/bumper and grille combo, dual rocket-like hood ornaments, and the full-length sweeping side trim w/the Bel Air's exclusive fan-style rear. This one is nicely detailed, right down to the color-matched steel wheels and the correct-style hubcaps on top. And the VC body tag tells us that this one has earned the special golden Chevrolet emblems and fender trim. You just know they made this one to really keep a cool/classic cruiser style. That's why you have the best period-correct upgrades like rear fender skirts, dual aerials, bright dual exhaust tips, and a continental kit on the rear.

The white convertible top looks great against the paint - almost like a sunny summer day with a hint of puffy clouds. Of course, it only gets better when you actually open this one up to the sky. The factory correct Turquoise and Ivory two-tone interior offers more of that attractive white and a blue that harmonizes with the exterior. And it's a detailed style, right down to the button-top trim on the seatbacks. The bright dash, artful steering wheel, and all the trim give this the right classic look. But as you dig deeper, you're also going to see the best modern features. After all, when was the last time you found a '57 Chevy with power windows? It combines the power convertible top so that you never have to leave the driver's seat when you want to open up this classic. There's even cold-blowing R134a air conditioning to keep you comfortable during top-down motoring. And don't forget to crank up the driving tunes on the retro-style AM/FM digital tune w/upgraded speakers.

These Tri-Five Chevys are famous for their small block power, but this one takes it up a notch. After all, you never could get one as large as this 350 cubic-inch V8 here. It also has an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock Performer intake. And while you're admiring the flame kissed valve covers and matching air topper, don't forget to spot the right supporting components, too. This includes a serpentine belt system and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan. It's a great driver, and just to make sure you really want to hit the open road, the transmission has been upgraded to a 700R4 four-speed automatic with overdrive. There's also power steering, power brakes, front discs, and the grip of modern tires.

The sale comes complete with maintenance records, service manuals, and plenty of build receipts. We're told this Bel Air has been in the same family for 20 years, and the quality shows in the all the right investment this one has inside and out. So don't miss this upgraded icon. Call today!!!
