Chrome, jet-age styling and rising horsepower drove the American automotive market during the late 1950s, and no automobile combined these three elements better than Chevrolet’s 1957 Bel Air convertible. Its unique styling and distinctive interior and exterior trimmings gave the impression of speed even while the car was at rest, and a growing list of factory options provided buyers with an unmatched opportunity to personalize their own Chevrolet.

The Bel Air being offered is powered by a 265-cid, 170-hp V-8 that is matched with an automatic transmission. The vivid red finish nicely shows off many exterior trim elements, including the anodized aluminum rear fender panels. This is pleasantly complemented by a white vinyl top and two-tone silver and red interior. Along with fender skirts and Continental kit; the Bel Air has dual antennas, dual mirrors, seat belts, aftermarket AM radio, clock, heater and power top. The car rides on wide whitewall tires with color-keyed steel wheels and spinner-type wheel covers.
