The 1957 Chevrolet is one of the most attractive and sought collector cars in the world. Some people feel the '57 Chevy is the most popular collector car of all time, bar none!

Chevy put this icon into a fresh, clean design that was an instant hit and has remained a favorite of collectors, weekend cruisers and just about everyone else since the days the paper came off the windows of Chevy showrooms in the fall of 1956. Subtly evolved from the 1956 Chevys, the 1957 featured a distinctive new grille integrated with new front bumpers and windsplitters on the hood that were fronted by gunsight ornaments. At the rear new distinct tail fins ended in sharply defined chrome caps which hid the gas filler behind the left taillight.

This also was the beginning of Chevy's move upscale, with a plethora of options and accessories. It was possible to outfit a Bel Air nearly as opulently as a Cadillac. The move upscale was conclusively proven by the Bel Air's popularity.


Fewer than seven percent of 1957 Bel Airs were convertibles, and there has never been enough of these most desirable and attractive models to meet the demand of collectors.




57J220940: This beautiful example is the result of an extensive, older ground up restoration. The convertible is finished in the always classy Black exterior, complemented by Gypsy Red and silver interior upholstery. Upon inspection of this example, it is apparent that a great amount of time and effort was invested in the restoration in order to achieve the beautiful detail throughout.




Fitted with a powerful Chevrolet 350ci crate motor and a modern A/C and electrical system, the Bel Air is sure to provide years of reliability and enjoyment. In addition to the fine condition of this car, it is equipped with a long list of options and accessories. Capable of delighting the most enthusiastic collector, this car would be the centerpiece of any major '50s car collection. * A very tasteful and classy resto-mod! * Beautiful presentation, excellent fit and finish! * An icon in automotive history!
