1957 Chevrolet Bel Air station wagon. Very rare version of the iconic 57 Bel Air. Seldom seen here in the U. K
If your looking for something a little different then this could be for you. Great for 50s weekends away and the shows etc. You certainly wont struggle for luggage space. Or prop with surfboard and cooler box in the back.
This 57 is in show condition having been fully restored in the States. The only U. K owner and importer just fell in love with the color which is original to the 57.
The bodywork and paintwork are immaculate and the car is arrow straight. The optional rear fender skirts can be removed and applied at the turn of a lever. The chrome work is 95 percent perfect with only a small amount of pitting to the badge bar. These are readily available should you strive for perfection. The color matched original steel wheels are in 1st class order as are the original trims. They are shod with nearly new whitewall radials.
The interior is all excellent having had a full re trim in the States. This included seats, door cards, carpet, headlining. The rear seats fold away to give a complete flat trunk section big enough to sleep in or store all the trophies its going to win !
The engine has been replaced with a completely rebuilt early small block chevy 350ci V8 . This runs fantastic and just gives a little more “umph” to the original 283ci. The auto box with column shift changes perfectly and is quick to engage gear and is smooth out on the road. Everyone who knows a Chevy know this engine is so easy to maintain and bullet proof. The brake system has had a complete recent overhaul over here in the UK. Everything was replaced partly due to the excellent availability and affordability of parts. This included new servo,, new master cylinder, new hoses and brake lines, wheel cylinders etc etc. The car now stops on a Dime.
This rare version of the 57 would be quite at home at Rally of the giants or Goodwood revival. There is nothing to do except enjoy the ride.
