The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is one of the most recognizable American cars ever built and a defining symbol of the Tri-Five era. With its bold chrome accents, distinctive tailfins, and hardtop roofline, the ’57 Bel Air represents the height of 1950s automotive design, blending style, performance, and everyday usability in a way that continues to captivate enthusiasts decades later.

This example is a true frame-off, nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration, completed with an exceptional level of care and craftsmanship. The restoration focused on returning the car to a high-quality, driver-friendly standard while incorporating select upgrades for improved comfort and reliability. With very limited mileage since completion, the car retains a fresh, well-sorted feel that reflects the time and attention invested in the build.

Power comes from a Chevrolet 350ci V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging, traditional driving experience that suits the character of a classic Bel Air. The addition of power steering, power brakes with front disc conversion, and modern cooling components makes the car far more enjoyable and confidence-inspiring on today’s roads.

Finished in a deep crimson pearl metallic, the exterior presents beautifully, with straight body panels and excellent chrome and stainless trim throughout. Inside, the custom interior maintains a classic look while incorporating modern conveniences such as air conditioning, updated gauges, and a refined seating arrangement. This Bel Air delivers the unmistakable look and sound of a 1957 Chevrolet, restored to be driven and appreciated rather than simply displayed.
