Iconic, distinctive, and quite affordable this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air looks great in two-tone, and you have to love the stares you get with a cool pillarless hardtop sedan. Red and white two-tone has such a timeless appeal, and so it makes this iconic classic feel like it has its own gravity. But more than just looking cool, the hardtop sedan is actually a rarer classic than the hardtop coupe. And regardless of the number of doors, you still get... that unmistakable '57 Chevy hardtop appearance with the pillarless profile, iconic trim, and dip in the door line. Plus, the legend would not be complete without the intricate rear bumper that's crafted into the tailfin design. And of course, the huge chrome front end looks like a 10,000-watt smile. This one certainly goes for a period-correct appearance where even the details are correct, like the bright factory wheel covers, whitewall tires, and golden Chevrolet chevron emblems. Inside, there's more great red to coordinate nicely when all the windows are down. And now it's joined by textured black on the button-top seats and door panels to create a total package that you know is the product of a proper restoration. Even the carpets and headliner are taut and wrinkle-free. There are crisp, clean gauges behind the highly stylized Bel Air steering wheel. The rest of the chrome on the dash looks amazing, and if you look closely, you can spot the upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo with digital tuner that fits into the original knob-style opening. That way you can play modern tunes while you roll all the windows down and show off the pillarless profile. 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 a freshly painted engine bay that features a 283 cubic-inch motor. Decked out in Chevy Orange and extra flair on the polished valve covers gives this a real presence radiating from within the darkness. Plus, the glasspack-style dual exhaust gives it the right tone you want on a small block '57. There are even nice upgrades like a newer gas tank and a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission to make cruising in this Bel Air a breeze. An iconic classic that leaves a lasting impression is rarely this affordable. That's why you know you have to ask fast to take it home. Call today!!!
