Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present this classic piece of American automotive history, the 1957 Chevrolet 150 Black Widow tribute. As the story goes the Black Widow is an interesting insight into how NASCAR and the automobile manufacturers functioned back in the day.On June 6, 1957, the Automobile Manufacturers Association, a coalition of U.S. automakers, formally banned automobile racing. The group prohibited the advertising of race results, promoting the speed features of race cars, providing pace cars to tracks and other marketing activities. And at the same time, Manufacturers were doing everything they could behind the scenes to get around their own restrictions. In the case of General Motors, they hired former Hudson lead race engineer Vince Piggins and moved him to Atlanta, where he established a business known as the Southern Engineering and Development Co., or SEDCO, which was run out of Nalley Chevrolet, an Atlanta dealership that eventually expanded into more than dozen retail outlets in the region. There, they would build their design on a Chevy 150 platform due to the ruggedness of the car and its ability to be adapted for racing, going on to tear up Nascar for the next few years. To this day, the Black Widow remains a subject of much discussion among Chevrolet fans, and intense debate as well.Under the hood, this Chevrolet 150 Black Widow Tribute is powered by a robust LS3 V8 engine, delivering the kind of performance and power that enthusiasts have come to expect from this legendary model. Paired with a Tremec 6 speed manual transmission, this vehicle offers a driving experience that is both engaging and authentic, allowing you to truly connect with the road and ready for the track.Inside, the vehicle is equipped with an AM/FM radio, providing entertainment and connectivity as you cruise down the highway. The inclusion of power brakes and power steering enhances the driving experience, offering improved handling and control. These features make the 1957 Chevrolet 150 not only a joy to drive but also a comfortable and convenient choice for those who appreciate classic cars with modern amenities.This 1957 Chevy Black Widow Tribute can be seen in detail including 100+ HD Pictures and an HD video at gatewayclassiccars.com.
