Finding a 1957 Chevrolet that has been in original hands since new is growing to near impossible levels, but this one is close—the original owner sold it in 2005. Undergoing a frame-off restoration that same year, it emerged finished in Onyx Black with a red and black patterned cloth and vinyl interior. Powered by the 283 CI V-8 and Powerglide automatic transmission, the engine is fitted with the Power Pack option, 4-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust system. Equipped with tinted glass, a heater, a defroster, a clock and a pushbutton radio, the Bel Air is well dressed with the gold anodized grille, full-size spinner wheel covers, wide whitewall tires, bright rocker moldings and other details creating a prime example of 1950s automotive styling. Well detailed throughout, the engine and compartment are much like the rest of the car, very clean and looking like it’s ready to be set on the showroom floor. Despite being very similar architecturally to the 1955 and 1956 Chevrolets, a vast amount of reengineering was bestowed on the 1957 full-size Chevrolet to set it considerably apart from the previous two years. The dashboard was all new, the cowl vent was eliminated in favor of vents at the headlights, and it adopted a lower stance thanks to 14-inch wheels replacing 15s, among other changes. Also new was the optional 283 CI V-8 engine, which could be had in four variants including a Rochester fuel-injected unit good for 283 HP, putting Chevrolet on the performance strata with esteemed performance leaders such as the Chrysler 300 and E-Code-equipped Fords, among others. Interestingly, despite all the engineering and performance, advertising and promotion, styling and design, sales for 1957 softened at Chevrolet. For the first time since 1935, Ford outsold Chevrolet, and as perplexing as it was, the blame was laid at the wheels—literally. Chevrolet was the first manufacturer to install tubeless tires, and most consumers didn’t trust them yet, so many who would have bought a Chevrolet switched to Ford.
