1957 CHEVROLET BEL AIR CONVERTIBL­E

-

OPEN AIR cruising back in the ‘50s was done with a great deal of panache and not a lot of speed as this wasn’t the focus back in the day. So while this Chev Bel Air has a 283ci V8 in its snout bolted to a manual transmissi­on, nosebleed from accelerati­on was never a concern. This example has undergone a recent mechanical and body restoratio­n and rides on whitewall tyres. Inside is red vinyl trim with silver accents.
