Gorgeous and dramatic from every angle, the '57 is arguably the pinnacle of styling excellence among the Tri-5 Chevys. Part of the reason the '57 is red-hot popular is because it has it all the most evolved of the '50's rear fins, Frenched headlights, the newly-introduced small block V-8 at a time when most cars still had six cylinders, as well as sweeping, rocket-inspired side styling, and one of the most attractive interiors and dashboard layouts ever come out of Detroit. This particular example has even more to offer. Besides being finished in stunning red on red with a white power top, it was one of only 68 Bel Air convertibles made with factory fuel injection which was extremely advanced and virtually unheard of in the '50's. Developed by Chevrolet engineers in conjunction with Rochester Automotive, this pioneering marvel made it onto a few lucky Bel Airs and Corvettes in time for the 1957 model year. When specified with the Duntov solid-lifter cam like this example was, the engine output reached the magical one horsepower-per-cubic inch plateau. Rated at 283 HP from its 283 cubic inch engine at a time when most cars had under 200 HP, it's no wonder these were the cars to beat on the streets, the strips, and various motorsports events around the country. The star of countless TV and movie features, a front-runner in early drag racing, and always a regular at car shows and collector events to this day the '57 Chevy is truly a legendary car that has continued to gain popularity for nearly 70 years. With this particular example, you're guaranteed to be the class of the field among other '57 Chevys since only a handful of the original sixty-eight '57 Bel Air convertibles are believed to still exist today.
