In the vast history of the autoverse, few cars can match the levels of love, allure, and dedication that a '57 Chevy commands. While all three Tri-Fives are fan favorites among the Bowtie faithful, a single glance at this gorgeous, fully repainted white 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop is enough to see why this car is on so many collectors' bucket lists.
Contrasting the sleek, ivory-white exterior is a warm and inviting two-tone interior, featuring red and black accents. A period-correct split front bench seat leaves plenty of room to spread out, while the two-spoke, power-assisted steering wheel sports the iconic Crossed Flags emblem on its center cap. The original three-pod gauge cluster remains intact, while a pair of white-faced auxiliary gauges sit just beneath the sliding HVAC controls. The upgraded AM/FM/Aux head unit that sits in its original position without upsetting the classic ambiance that makes this car feel so special
Under the hood, we find a clean engine bay featuring a crate 350 cubic-inch V-8 engine. A Holley Sniper 2 electronic fuel injection system feeds that small block. In contrast, a set of Doug's long tube headers dispenses with spent gases via a true dual FlowMaster exhaust, giving this classic ride an authoritative rumble. Power is transmitted through a 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission equipped with a stall converter, enabling smooth driving once it reaches highway speeds. A Ford nine-inch rear end houses 3.89 gears and a Grizzly Locker third member.
