1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

Description

This incredible Bel Air is a highly detailed, well-executed custom that impresses in literally every way!

Featuring a straight and solid profile, this old school Chevy wears a super clean restoration that's a first class example of professional craftsmanship. The car's fit and finish is exceptional, highlighting brilliant red paint. And not only does that mirror-like pigment present well from all angles, it provides a living testament to the allure of stellar design and American ingenuity.

Under the hood, a show-detailed engine bay displays a perfect blend of painted and polished components. The engine itself is a 6.2 liter GM LS3 that marries a broad power band with seemingly endless torque. That power comes courtesy of a Spectre intake, aluminum heads and electronic fuel injection. And coated headers dump spent gases in to a big, true-dual exhaust system.

As previously stated, the car's body is solid steel that's been rotisserie restored to very high standards. That body rides a spry Art Morrison chassis that's been completely wrapped in glossy 2-stage. At the front of that frame, tubular control arms trace Strange coil-over-shocks and power rack and pinion steering. At the back of that frame, a 9-inch Ford axle spins a posi-traction differential and cool 3.55 gears inside a modern 4-link setup. Power meets the pavement through a 6-speed automatic transmission. And at the corners, meaty Kumho Ecstas spin stylish Billet Specialties wheels around big Wilwood discs.

As spectacular as this tri-five's body and drivetrain are, its interior borders on art. Installed by Steve Holcombe of Pro Auto Custom Interiors, the car's leather is rich and luxurious: trending more toward '21st century royalty' than 'mid-50s Americana'. And just when you think you've taken it all in, layers of incredible detailing continue to pique your attention.

Striking, tasteful and ready to roll, this custom Bel Air is poised to drop jaws and win trophies! We'd like to thank the car's happy new owner for choosing RK Motors Charlotte for all his octane-fueled needs. Here's to many years and many more miles behind the wheel of classic Motor City metal!
