By 1957, Chevrolet’s small-block V-8 engine had grown to 283 cubic inches and offered several levels of tune. This 1991 AACA National First Prize award winning example received a frame-off restoration to exacting standards and is equipped with the “Power-Pack” setup with 9.5:1 compression, a four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust. It also is equipped with an automatic transmission. It continues to be displayed in a nearly pristine manner with an Onyx Black finish and distinctive upholstery; the Bel Air displays its period-correct colors – including the red and silver upholstery with black carpets. The soft-top is black vinyl and the top boot is matching interior red. Additional equipment includes fender skirts, dual antennas, dual mirrors, aftermarket AM/FM/cassette player, factory wheel covers, whitewall tires; power top, brakes and steering. The car also comes with the owner’s manual and 1957 Chevrolet Service Manual. As seen in the photo array, it is a multiple-award winner, with over 50 first place trophies and plaques since being restored and these awards accompany the car. This is a wonderful illustration of one of America’s still-favorite cars.
