1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 door Hardtop- High Quality Show and Cruise
This is a stunning and highly acclaimed top show quality 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door hardtop. Having achieved the winning of multiple Best of Show, People's Choice and First Place awards, you will be proud to take her anywhere and simply having her close by for “garage art”. This amazing example was finished over 20 years ago and has lived the most pampered life possible since. With very few miles traveled (to mostly show events, calendar photo shoots and cruise events) this “old school style” restoration brings smiles, garners admiration, and peaks attention where ever she goes. The restoration was executed on a rust free body and chassis, and the ”Romanesque Crimson Candy” PPG paint (a $30,000 investment 20 years ago) is a remarkable statement about our sellers commitment to a high quality, rotisserie “nut and bolt” build.
