The 1957 Chevrolet is a car which was introduced by GM in September 1956 for the 1957 model year. The 57 Bel Air was 2.5 inches longer than the 56 model and was considered Chevy’s top of the line model and therefore was given all the bells and whistles and decorative trim needed to make it stand out in a packed field of competitors. Original GM options include the heater, power steering, wheel knock-offs, front bullet style bumper guards, AM radio, fender skirts, an electric clock, electric wipers, gold anodized trim and dual exhaust. Dealer installed options include the interior lights, carpeting, spare tire, jack, front and rear ashtrays and a cigarette lighter. It was restored approximately 10 years ago at which time it was repainted in its original colors of Coronado Yellow and Ivory (814-D), it received a new Black Cloth Upholstered (670) interior, its original Power Glide transmission was fully serviced, its original 283ci V8 (casting # 3731548) was rebuilt and the cylinder heads were fit with hardened valve seats so it runs on unleaded fuel. Within the last year it received a new set of Bridgestone white wall radials from Coker Tires that look like bias-ply tires and it also received a new set of spinner hubcaps. At the same time a Custom Autosound USA 630 BT stereo and new speakers were installed that look like they came from the factory. It was recently serviced, everything works as it should (except the power steering) and she is an absolute pleasure to drive. We would appraise this as a very solid #2 car and as such would value it at $70,847.00. We are serious about finding a new home for it and have priced it to sell quickly so time is of the essence!
