In 1955 Chevrolet began production of the second generation of the Bel Air. Chevrolets produced from 1955 to 1957 are commonly referred to as “Tri-Five” Chevrolets. Interestingly enough, each year of the “Tri-Five” Chevrolets can be differentiated by their unique front end. For the 1957 model year, Chevrolet once again chose to restyle their car, this time it was in an effort to compete with the all-new 1957 Ford. The redesigned Chevrolets featured design cues borrowed from Cadillac. The car was very well received, and today the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has gained the reputation as one of the most iconic cars of the ‘50s.

This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible is presented in red with a white convertible top. The exterior features dual sideview mirrors, Continental kit and fender skirts. The body sides are easily identifiable with side moldings that extends to the rear and surround the distinctive aluminum fender trim panel. The car rides on whitewall tires mounted on color-coded steel wheels with handsome factory “spinner” wheel covers. The vehicle is powered by a 283-cid V-8 engine paired to a column-shift three-speed manual transmission. The interior is completed in a two-tone red and gray design and features a radio and a clock.
