SUMMARY
Next to the inevitable Mustang, the 1957 Bel Air is the most sought after US classic car in the world.
DESCRIPTION
- New for 1956/7 was the Bel Air four-door 'Sport Sedan', a pillarless hardtop that looked great with all the windows rolled down
- As featured in Season 8 Episode 10 of Wheeler Dealers with Mike Brewer and Ed China
- Originally in Pastel Blue with white flashes, it was stripped back and repainted in Ferrari Gallio Fly with a white roof and side flashes
- During the restoration many of the original chrome parts were replaced along with a full mechanical check over
- The interior was also changed at the same time and the car was then offered by Mike and duly sold to our vendors
- It has been enjoyed by them ever since, however after a period of time the paint was showing signs of deterioration so the decision was taken to fully strip the car to bare metal and professionally re-finish it in yellow again
- The interior was also completely changed to its current black and white 'tuck and roll' configuration which suited our vendor's taste
- Finally it was treated to a set of Torque Thrust II alloys which set this classic 1950s sedan off perfectly
- Welcome anywhere from 'Happy Days' parties to society weddings. Knocking on the door of 'super cool'
