This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Door Hardtop was purchased by the seller’s late father in 1967 and was inherited by the current owner in January 2021. The car is finished in Colonial Cream over a two-tone yellow and black interior and is powered by a 283ci V8 paired with a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Equipment includes Bel Air trim, power steering, a heater, an analog clock, Chevrolet-script valve covers, and an AM/FM/8-track player.
The car is finished in Colonial Cream and features chrome bumpers and trim, contrasting quarter-panel inserts, dual chrome mirrors, and twin wind splits on the hood. The seller notes rust where the door skin attaches to the door.
Fenton 14″ 5 spoke mag wheels with polished lips wear 205/70 Goodyear Eagle ST Radial raised white letter tires. A full-size spare is mounted in the trunk. The car is equipped with power steering and four-wheel drum brakes.
The cabin features bench seats and door panels that are upholstered in yellow vinyl with black patterned cloth inserts. Equipment includes a heater, rear speaker, an AM/FM/8-track player, and lap belts.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 75k miles.
The 283ci Turbo-Fire V8 was modified with a four-barrel carburetor and was factory rated at 185 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. A carburetor and a black air-cleaner assembly sit atop the engine. The engine is said to have been refurbished in June 2018.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission.
