1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible – Restomod Excellence
This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible (VIN: VC57N237777) is a stunning example of how timeless design can be enhanced with modern engineering. Professionally restored and upgraded, this car blends the unmistakable style of the Tri-Five era with the performance, comfort, and reliability of a contemporary build.
Power & Performance
Under the hood sits a 5.7L LS1 V8, delivering smooth, responsive power while maintaining the classic small-block look. The engine is paired with a 4L60-E 4-speed automatic transmission, giving the car excellent drivability whether cruising through town or stretching its legs on the open highway. With only 6,561 miles since the restoration and drivetrain installation, the mechanicals are fresh and well sorted.
Exterior
Finished in a brilliant Red, this Bel Air makes an unforgettable first impression. The body lines remain crisp and true, while the chrome trim and brightwork have been restored to show-quality brilliance. Its iconic dual rear fins, hooded headlights, and sweeping profile capture everything enthusiasts love about the 1957 model year. The power convertible top is in excellent condition, offering an open-air experience at the touch of a switch.
Interior
Inside, the car has been reupholstered in Saddle/Tan, a color choice that perfectly complements the exterior. Classic styling cues are preserved, but the fit and finish reflect modern restoration standards. Comfort features have been subtly integrated, making this a cabin that feels both vintage and inviting for long drives.
