Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 1957 Description
A mix of originality and cool updates throughout a well-preserved life makes this 1957 Chevrolet 210 sedan an instant crowd pleaser. And its value price will have you grinning from ear to ear.While we love all Tri-Five Chevys, we all know the '57 is king. With the jet-inspired ornaments on the hood, wide "V" under the Chevrolet badging, and the extra long tailfin trim, it's often hard for the casual enthusiast to tell the difference between a 210 model from this year and the significantly more expensive Bel Air. Of course it also helps to have a car that looks this good. Thanks to the great color green and contrasting white, the brightwork comes to life accenting the lines that give this four-door sedan the wow factor. You already know that chrome isn't cheap, and the '57 is literally covered in it. So one of the first things to make sure is when shopping for one of these icons is that all the brightwork is complete and present as it is here. But like any good '50s machine, there was still room for a little more shine, and so the 14-inch wire wheels only amplify the classy first impression this vintage sedan gives.The green and white theme continues on the inside. The diamond pattern tuck-and-roll on the leather seats has such a cool presence. Just like the wire wheels on the outside, it gives this Chevy a custom feeling without betraying its 1950s feeling. The matching pattern on the doors panels means the moment you get out at the car show, this sedan will draw attention. But more than just look great, this icon was meant for driving. You sit behind the original 210 green and chrome steering wheel. The original-style gauges are clear and easy to read, and the three-on-the-tree shifter is a wonderful piece of vintage simplicity. There's even an upgrade to an AM/FM/CD stereo with auxiliary input, so you can listen to the most modern tunes in this very classic ride.Part of what makes these cars a legend is that the Tri-Fives were the ones to introduce the Chevy small block V8. So you'll be happy to lift the hood to reveal a nicely detailed engine bay that features a 265 cubic-inch motor. Decked out in Chevy Orange with that huge factory oil bath air cleaner on top, not only does this legendary powerplant look correct, but also we suspect it could be the original motor. The three-speed transmission allows you to get the most out of the V8, and the glasspack-style dual exhaust gives you a little extra growl when you want to remember why these ruled the road.There's no shortage of '57 Chevy fans out there. So when you can find one that looks so original and has a host of cool '50s-correct upgrades, you know how special this is especially at this price. So the difference between the people staring at this one on a Saturday night and the person getting all the stares is whoever was quick enough to grab this deal. Call today!!!
