1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I like the color choices for this car. I also like the four door design which makes it easier to get others in and out of the back seat. The car is comfortable to ride in and has plenty of room. It still needs some more work but it looks to be minor fixes. The car accelerates easy and it stops easily when the brake is applied. I feel safe riding in this big car due to the heavy material it is built out of.Jul 04, 2013

8+half years and a small fortune to fully rebuild from scratch. Black cherry pearl paint. Cream & Burgundy Italian leather interior. Rockford Fosgate sound system loud enough to be heard over the loud & lumpy 454 Big Block V8 bored and stroked to 503 with TH400 trans. 12.6 seconds on 1/4 mile. Foose mags. Smokes (tyres), Drinks (fuel) heavily! This is maxed out fun on 4 wheels and we love cruising in her most weeks.Nov 07, 2011

I'm building it now.It needs alot of work but its a 2 door coupe, my favorite car of all time.Its all about benjamins when building these things but thats because their quality cars.Anything of good quality these days costs alot of money though.I like the fact that they were made 100% in america with all american parts, and by americans.Those days are over!Feb 04, 2010

A gorgeous car. As a wise man once told me no matter what car you drive it wishes it was a 1957 Chevy. This car is my Dad's and it is no normal 57 instead of the original 6 cyl it has a performance built 454 from a 1970 Chevelle SS. It has 500+ horsepower and it's performance is amazing in a straight line but i wouldnt want to take it into a corner. The interior is amazing and the outside is even better but the gas mileage is enough to kill OPEC.Sep 23, 2009

Straight bodied 57 2dr sport coupe, the best shape of this 50's icon car. The performance built 402 big block / TH400 combo makes sure this car pulls really well. Hae also now fitted servo disc brakes, upratred springs and HD anti roll bar to improve stopping and cornering. Electronic bypass valves allow exhausts to be either open header or through flowmasters so noise wise, this is a real jeckyll and hide. The wide overlap cam gives an excellent V8 burble on idle and on full throttle the noise is somehwere between epic and biblical.. Gets looks and thumbs up wherever it goes. Not for Wallflowers!Sep 01, 2009

1957 Chevy Belair 2 door sedan. 1968 327 c.i. engine with AFR heads, Comp Cams retro roller Big Mutha Thumpa cam, stud girdled, hydra rev kit installed. Turbo 350 trans with 3500 stall converter. Out back, a '57 Olds rear with 4:30 geared spool. I drive it like a rental car. I've broken and smashed every part on this car since 1990. Dont like that? Too bad!Jun 14, 2009

Needed a total restoration. Was sitting in storage for many years and was used as parts for another 57 Chevy. But it was my first car. I learned fast. they are interesting cars. they arent as good as the 58's which i have owned one also. On the other hand they are easier to get used to because they are not as big as the 58's. Parts are plentiful and usualy easy to work on.Oct 23, 2008

Car didn't stop turn or accelerate. It had body roll like a royal navy ship of the line and had no creature comforts not even a padded dash but was a barn find and two tone green. The car had 36000 original miles on it and hadn't been on the road since the seventies so the spare tire in the trunk was rotted and the gas tank fouled but was fun to drive and show off. You can't mess with a classic. We had the inline 6 cylinder engine with a rochester 1 bbl carburetor. Sep 08, 2008

The nineteen fifty-seven Chevrolet is the coolest regular production car Ever made. The style is one of a kind and there has never been anything close to it. Popular as a family car it also was a huge hit with the 2 door coop that was very sporty. Then came the muscle cars of the 60's and big V-8 engines were lifted into the 1957 which could accept up to a 454 cubic inch engine or about a 6.2 Liter engine. With a lift kit in the back and "Cheater slicks", you were ready to drag race on the strip. Sep 07, 2008

well i've never seen it in my life but, my dad says that his old '57 Chevy is in a shack on the farm in Preston county and this pic is pretty freakin' close to what it would look like if we fixed it...only thing is ours is a 2 dr not a 4 dr...but we just might get a winch and trailer hooked up to my truck and go get that thing out of the farm this summer...so i'm waiting for the dayMay 27, 2008

It's tough to be objective with classics like the 57 Bel Air. A restored original Bel Air is slow and handles like a shopping cart. However, it's still pretty plush for an older vehicle. The ride is soft and smooth.. probably too smooth. This is the car that everyone's dad absoultely loves and I can really see why. I never really understood the fin and flair era of American auto styling but this helps.Mar 15, 2008
