This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible is finished in Matador Red over red and silver vinyl upholstery, and it is powered by a 283ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
Equipment includes a power-operated white soft top, 14″ wheels, dual four-barrel carburetors, rear fender skirts, a Continental kit, power steering, and a push-button AM radio.
The car was refurbished in 2015, and servicing since December 2022 have included rebuilding the carburetors and resealing the engine along with brake work and refreshment of the cooling system.
Finished from the factory in Matador Red (802), the car was repainted.
Exterior details include a power-operated white convertible top with a zip-down rear window as well as a Continental spare tire kit, bright trim, gold-finished Bel Air badges, hooded headlights, twin wind splits, styled tailfins, and rear fender skirts.
Red 14” wheels wear spinner-style full covers and are mounted with Goodyear wide-whitewall tires.
The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by drums at all four corners.
A brake system service in January 2023 included replacing the front wheel cylinders and rebuilding the front brake spindles and drums.
The front wheel bearings were adjusted at this time, and the power steering control valve was replaced.
The cabin features front and rear bench seats trimmed in red vinyl with silver inserts as well as color-coordinated door panels and black carpeting.
Bright trim accents a red-painted metal dashboard, and additional appointments include a clock, a locking glovebox, and a push-button AM radio.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames a 120-mph speedometer flanked by gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level.
The five-digit odometer shows 276 miles, total mileage is unknown.
