This Chevrolet Bel Air got away, but there are more like it here.

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-Door Hardtop

Sold for $26,000 on 10/9/23

This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is a four-door hardtop that is finished in Dusk Pearl with an Imperial Ivory roof, and it was acquired by the seller in 2004. Power is supplied by a 283ci V8 mated to a two-speed automatic transmission, and the car is equipped with steel 14″ wheels with bright covers, front disc brakes, power steering, a vintage-look cassette radio, and a Pioneer Bluetooth stereo. The engine was reportedly rebuilt under current ownership and the seats were reupholstered in silver vinyl and patterned black fabric. This Bel Air is now offered with a shop manual and a clean California title in the name of the seller’s family trust.

The car was reportedly refinished in Dusk Pearl with an Imperial Ivory roof under previous ownership. Exterior details include chrome bumpers and trim, hooded headlights, quarter vent windows, and downturned dual exhaust outlets. Scrapes on the right-front door and right-rear wheel arch are pictured in the gallery below. The right taillight lens was replaced in preparation for the sale.

Black-finished 14″ steel wheels wear bright covers and are mounted with 205/75 Goodyear Weatherhandler LS narrow-whitewall tires. A full-size spare is stored in the trunk. Front discs brakes and power steering were added under current ownership.

The cabin houses two rows of bench seats that have been reupholstered in silver vinyl with patterned black fabric inserts and fitted with lap belts. A Pioneer CD stereo with Bluetooth is housed in the glovebox while a vintage-look cassette radio is fitted in the dash. The analog clock is nonfunctional. The seller states that the ignition switch was replaced in 2023.

The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and fronts a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 5k miles. Approximately 8k miles have been added under current ownership, and total mileage is unknown.

The 283ci V8 was reportedly rebuilt under current ownership approximately 5k miles ago.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Additional underside photos are provided in the image gallery.

Model C – 2400 series Bel Air
Model year 57 – 1957
