American car designs typically ran in three-year cycles. Usually, by its third year a design was in urgent need of freshening. The 1957 Chevy, however, has been the exception that disproved the rule. Although Ford marginally outsold Chevy for the 1957 model year, it’s the “five-seven” Chevrolet that has stolen the hearts of the collector community.

What makes this car stand out among this popular models “sister cars” is that is reported as an all-original example that has remained “untouched” with the exception of fitting new tires. It was, at an earlier time, part of the James C. Miller collection and it displays just over 29,000 original miles. Presented in the sporty color combination of Onyx Black with a white power top and red and silver interior in its original grandeur; this Bel Air has the 265-cid Turbo-Fire V-8 paired with an automatic transmission. Desirable features include fender skirts, factory spinner wheel covers, whitewall tires; power steering and brakes. Such well-preserved examples are a rarity and will continue to be even more so.
