No car embodies the spirit of the 1950s or classic American automobiles quite like the 1955-1957 Chevrolets. Among them, the 1957 Bel Air stands out as the most iconic, with its sweeping stainless trim and striking tail fins. Its silhouette, wide grille with Dagmar bumperettes, and tall tail fins are instantly recognizable, even to those who aren’t car enthusiasts. Over nearly 70 years, Tri-Five Chevrolets have become legends, featured in movies, raced on drag strips, customized in home garages, and showcased at car shows across the country.
This stunning 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop is a unique custom build with a rich history. It was owned by an automotive shop teacher for over 30 years. When the time came for restoration, it was painted by one of his former students, who had gone on to open his own auto body shop. The result is a breathtaking Deep Crimson Pearl Metallic finish, accented by flawless stainless trim and perfect chrome bumpers, making this ’57 Chevy a real head-turner. The exterior has been tastefully shaved of emblems on the hood and decklid, while the anodized gold grille and Bel Air scripts on the sides add a touch of elegance.
Inside, this Bel Air features a fully custom tan leather bench seat interior, complete with custom gauges, a tilt steering column, ice-cold A/C, seat belts, power windows, and an AM/FM stereo with speakers in all four corners. But the real magic happens under the hood. A fresh GM Performance ZZ6 crate engine delivers 420hp, thanks to fuel injection, fast burn aluminum heads, a hydraulic roller camshaft, and an aluminum intake manifold. Power is transferred through a Muncie M21 close-ratio 4-speed transmission to a 9-bolt rear axle. With power disc brakes up front and power steering, this classic car is a breeze to drive and can handle modern traffic with ease.
This elegant crimson Chevy has undergone a body-off, frame-up, rotisserie restoration, with no detail overlooked. Driven just over 4,000 miles since its restoration, this Bel Air has proven to be a comfortable, reliable, and easy-to-drive cruiser that can turn rubber into smoke with a tap of the throttle. If you’re searching for the quintessential 1950s American car with all the modern upgrades and ready to hit the road, this is the one for you!
