-Fuel injected -Restored from the ground up -Immaculate Condition
In immaculate condition, this 1957 Bel Air has been masterfully restored from the ground up. Presenting in Onyx Black with a unique silver and red interior, not an expense has been spared on this example. The paint-work and chrome are outstanding, and the original wheels and hubcaps are wrapped in white wall tyres, presenting as it would have on the showroom floor over 60 years ago. The undercarriage and engine bay are spotless; a tell-tale sign of a meticulously maintained car. With rear spats and a continental kit, this Bel Air is the epitome of 50’s styling.
The small-block V8 engine is paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, both of which are in outstanding mechanical order. The engine feels smooth and powerful, while the gear-shifts feel effortless and precise. It is a pleasure to drive and is ready to be driven from the showroom floor.
As one of the most popular cars to ever travel down a production line, the Chevrolet Bel Air is an American Icon. Even one who knows nothing of cars can identify with a Bel Air as they are an instantly recognisable classic. Produced consistently between 1949 and 1980, these cars are a staple in the US motor industry setting the bar for comfort and style. Now, they are increasingly hard to find in good condition and their classic 50’s styling have made them highly collectable.
Holding an important place in international motoring history, the Bel Air’s elegant styling and pedigree make it a rare collectable and a failsafe investment. In such good condition, this example would complement any garage or collection.
