1957 Chevrolet Bel Air - Pillarless 2-Door Hardtop ... (SOLD)

Now for sale is a real American beauty. A stunning 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Pillarless 2 door hardtop. Located in our Sydney Showroom.

Has there ever been a more iconic American car than the ’57 Chevy Bel Air? We think not. It has become a symbol of its age. Representing American middle class postwar prosperity and now an icon of the 50's American car culture. A movie star in it's own lifetime.

The Chevy Bel Air was just the right mix of style, performance with an appealing price tag. It was a huge hit in showrooms and was a much bigger technical achievement than it usually gets credit for. Along with the pronounced tail fins and headlight surround vents and bumperettes that resembled a jet aircraft nose cone, the Chevy features technical innovations including the use of tubeless tyres, fuel Injection and options such as air conditioning, power door locks and windows.

Constructed at the assembly plant in Kansas City, Missouri, this 57' Chev was originally painted in two-tone Ivory White with Canyon Coral paint, complemented by Silver vinyl with Black cloth insert trim. Before its relocation to Australia in 2015, the car underwent a professional repaint in Inca Silver while retaining the original trim scheme. The chrome and stainless is all original and in good used condition and replacement tinted glass has been fitted.

Equipped with the era-appropriate 283 V8 engine and a 2BBL carburetor, it features the 2-Speed Powerglide transmission connected to a standard differential, rear drum brakes and stock suspension system. The Chevy was upgraded in Australia to Super Chevy front disc brakes and sleek 17-inch Foose chrome wheels with Hankook 205/50ZR17s on the front and 235/45RZ17 on the rear have been fitted.

Certified by an engineer in New South Wales for the front disc brakes and 17" mag wheels, the Chevy is currently on full NSW registration until June 2025 with RJ1957 plates.

The Chevy is supplied with some new chrome parts including lower tail fin mouldings, new scuff plates, new chrome door handles and windscreen wiper arms.
