The '57 Chevy is an automotive icon. I owned the 2 door post version back in the day. I installed a built 327 and of course it had a 4 speed. It was a beauty with Cragars, Holley 4 bbl, Edelbrock intake, Hooker Headers, 4:11 gear set and all the cool stuff of that late 60's era. I sold it in order to buy a new 1970 GTO. The fella that bought it, totaled it a week later. Unfortunately, I lost the pictures of it during the war with my ex.

I never owned a 57 Chevy but my Aunt did and I drove her car. It was a 2 dr Bel Air and I passed my road test with it first time. An American Icon the 57 Chevy is still a sought after classic.
Thank you for your comments Dave on the 57 Chevy. Cheers!

Mario, thank you once again for thinking my 57 Chev Bel Air four door hardtop (Sport sedan) ranked for your tribute. I very much appreciate it sir. I owned the car from 1984 to 2007 and spent September 1990 to May 1992 restoring it. It is one that I regret letting get away. Cheers.
