Car Description
1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-dr Hardtop Coupe powered by a 5.7L 350cui V8 GM Chev small block engine and driven by a 4-speed floor-shift manual transmission.
History :- from a numbers standpoint, the ’57 Chevrolet wasn’t as popular as General Motors had hoped. Despite its popularity, rival Ford outsold Chevrolet for the 1957 model year for the first time since 1935. The main cause of the sales shift to Ford was that the ’57 Chevrolet had tubeless tires, the first car to have them and this scared away sales to Ford as many people did not initially trust the new tubeless design.
Fact :- the ’57 Ford is not nearly as prized by collectors today as the 1957 Chevrolet is. Throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s, the ’57 Chevrolet was a popular used car and a highly prized “street machine” or hot rod. The ideal size of the ’57, combined with its relatively light weight compared to newer full-sized cars, made it a favorite among drag racers. The engine bay was big enough to fit GM’s big-block engines, first introduced in 1958 and popularized in the 1960’s by the Beach Boys in the song “409”. The relatively simple mechanical attributes of the car made it easy to maintain, customize, and upgrade with components such as disc brakes and air conditioning.
