Part of the highly coveted Tri-Fives, the ’57 Bel-Airs tend to be the most popular. This example has a few faults, as the heater core appears to be leaking, new tires are recommended, and it slightly tugs to the left when braking. Despite these issues, it starts reliably and — beyond that — it even still drives well enough to enjoy on the road. The paint is not original, as the vehicle was restored at some point in its history, but the factory-correct color has been retained. Aside from the occasional paint chips and other minor cosmetic imperfections expected with age, there is no major visible damage to the body. Unfortunately, the original radio and clock are no longer included, and there is some minor wear and damage to interior components, such as the steering wheel and trim due to age. Powering this ’57 is the 265 cu. in. V8 engine producing 162 horsepower, paired with a synchro-mesh manual 3-speed transmission, commonly referred to as a “three on the tree.” When new, the vehicle likely carried a sale price of around $2,390, which would be equivalent to approximately $28,324 today when adjusted for inflation. In today’s market, the average auction price for any 1957 Chevy Bel-Air is around $68,826.
