Purchased from a farmer in New York and showing just 200 miles since its restoration, this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible demonstrates the heights of luxury and performance attainable in that final glorious year of the Tri-Five model era. Decorated with a 1992 AACA First Prize badge in the grille, this Bel Air convertible is host to a 283/220 HP Power pack small block V-8 with Carter 4-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust, in this case mated to a Powerglide automatic. It is correctly finished in India Ivory with a glamorous Silver-and-Red interior, Black power-operated soft top and a Red boot for top-down motoring.
There is added flash in the optional Gold accent package, but the show doesn’t stop there; this American classic is loaded with desirable period accessories. The interior is fitted with a push-button AM radio, an in-dash clock and controls for the dual articulated spotlight mirrors, while the exterior is fully dressed with dual antennas, door handle nail guards, dual exhaust, spinner wheel covers over wide whitewall tires and a Continental kit.
