Now to the details on this exceptional and extremely popular show-winning 1957 Chevy convertible. A Rare Find: 1957 Chevy Convertible with an AACA Grand National 1st Place Award History!This fully restored (frame off) Chevrolet Bel Air convertible is among the nicest looking/driving Bel Airs we've seen and the AACA apparently agreed in 1992 by conferring it with a Grand National 1st Place award. A "picture book" of the restoration will transfer with the car. Since retiring from the national show circuit. the car's odometer shows it to have been driven only 6. 83 miles and has continued to be maintained to AACA standards as witnessed by the car receiving its "Preservation" award in October. 2014. Great LookingAs a former Grand National 1st Place award winner and the holder of a current AACA Preservation award. this Bel Air convertible was meticulously restored to meet those levels of judging scrutiny. Paint and ChromeResprayed in its original Matador Red. this car looks as new with the exception of some areas of crazing. The chrome is every bit as nice as is the stainless trim. The white convertible top is in excellent condition and the power lowering/raising mechanism works properly. There are fender skirts as well if you prefer that look. InteriorThe interior upholstery was all redone to show specifications and looks like new. The door panels are excellent as is the carpeting. The dash surfaces and all of the instruments are in excellent cosmetic condition as well. EngineThe engine is a totally rebuilt 1957 283 V-8 with Power Pack that operates on lead-free gasoline. The fully-detailed V-8 sits in an equally nicely detailed engine bay. TransmissionThe recently rebuilt three-speed manual transmission. equipped with the overdrive option. shifts as smoothly as silk! The car has limited slip to help harness the engine's power at the back wheels. ChassisThe underside of this Bel Air convertible is consistent with a frame-off. show-quality restoration with only 6. 83 careful miles thereafter (see pictures). It is. of course. free of any visible rust or corrosion. Safety and Comfort featuresThe car has a Bendix's Hydrovac power brake booster and the brakes operate smoothly. This car is also equipped with power steering that makes driving this convertible a dream. Seat belts have been installed for additional safety. All of the safety and accessory features work—lights. turn signals. wipers. horn. etc. Both the original radio and original clock were recently rebuilt and work correctly. A Very Nice Example of America's Dream ConvertibleIf one were to take a poll of the most popular American convertibles of the '50s. the 1957 Chevy Bel Air would rank at the top of the list. and this Matador Red ragtop would place near the top of that list. A national first place show winner that still retains much of its restored luster. it is equally suited for the local/regional show circuit. the country club or just an outing on a pretty day. This is a car that has been pampered since retiring from the national show circuit and you will want to "show it off" on the streets and show venues of your home town.
