Description
In 1957, the Tri-Five Chevrolet era came to a close and brought to market one of the most iconic ‘50s American vehicles, the 1957 Chevy Bel Air. It had large tailfins, a "twin rocket" hood design, lots of chrome, upscale interiors, and a wide range of available V8 engines. It was also available in numerous body styles — including two- and four-door sedans, convertibles, and wagons, but the two-door Sport Coupe variant is the one that enthusiasts and collectors desire to own most.
This ‘57 Chevy benefits from a recent refurbishment that reportedly included boring the 283ci V8 .060” over, and installing stainless steel valves, a solid camshaft and lifters, and twin Carter carburetors topped with open-element air cleaners. Additional work included repainting the body Matador Red, reupholstering the interior in red and white, and installing 15” Rocket Racing wheels.
This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe is now offered with a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.
