1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Coupe – Iconic Tri-Five with Performance Flair
A Rolling Tribute to 1950s Automotive Excellence
This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Coupe captures the golden era of American automotive design with its swooping body lines, signature tailfins, and period-correct two-tone red and white exterior. More than just a showpiece, this Bel Air is equipped with the legendary 283ci “Fuelie” V8 (shared with the 1957 Corvette) and tasteful performance upgrades, making it equally at home on the show field or cruising the boulevard.
