1957' Chevrolet 210

The 1957 Chevrolet is an icon all on its own. But while others out there go for the outrageous, this 210 sedan is about showcasing a high degree of originality with only the right updates to make this a nice V8 cruiser. So if you love your icons to have plenty of survivor-like qualities, dig into the details on this one. Were told this car spent some time hidden away, and thats the kind of cool barn find story you dont get too often on an icon like the 57 Chevy. And we particularly like the clean and complete look of the whole car while it still celebrates an earned level of patina. So you have all your favorite design elements, like the hallmark bumper/grille combo and the sweeping side trim thats so distinct in 1957. You may see all the details and the value price and see this as a great place to start your restoration project. But we already like it just the way it is. The trim tag tells this was born a two-tone, but the aged finish looks like it is wearing the factory, India Ivory. Plus, stock badging, stock hub caps, and rather straight body panels are all part of a look that feels like you inherited an old barn, and this was waiting in a corner for you to discover it. The interior continues the look of the creamy white, and now its joined by textured gray inserts on the seats and doors. There are rips and age in the presentation that keep the barn find vibe going. But whats especially nice is the completeness of the details, where you have the full dash trim, classic AM radio (for display), correct gauges, and all the door handles and cranks for this sedan. Even the dome light is still working. The classic Chevy seeing wheel is even updated to Bel Air. So this has the right cruiser fundamentals. Part of what makes these cars a legend is that the Tri-Fives were the ones to introduce the Chevy small block V8. So youll be happy to lift the hood to reveal an ear-correct and possibly original 283 cubic-inch engine. And with the bright block, the cursive script on the valve covers, and the huge factory oil bath air cleaner on top, everyone will have no trouble believing its originality. But as you look a bit closer, you also see what makes this a true cruiser, like the upgrade to the alternator. The motor fires up easily, runs well, and shifts comfortably with the Powerglide automatic transmission. Youll also notice the new power brake booster and recent front disc upgrade. This iconic classic gives you an authentic style from day one and the potential/budget for creating a truly unique custom in the future. Call now!
