1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2‑Door Hardtop (Stock #4408)
This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2‑Door Hardtop is an exceptional example of one of the most iconic American cars ever built. Widely regarded as the pinnacle of 1950s automotive design, the ’57 Bel Air stands at the top of the legendary Tri‑Five Chevys (1955–1957)—a trio celebrated for their unmistakable styling, tail fins, and powerful V‑8 performance.
Finished in its period‑correct Desert Rose with a white roof, this Bel Air presents as a pristine, top‑of‑the‑line coupe with a correct silver‑and‑black interior. The car has a well‑documented history, coming from a West Coast collector who traded it to us for a Rolls‑Royce. Prior to that, it passed through a Corvette specialist in Georgia and a longtime friend in Kentucky. The most recent owner even chronicled a memorable five‑day road trip from Albuquerque, NM to Bend, OR, underscoring the car’s reliability and drivability.
In Bend, the respected American‑car specialist Retro‑Rides upgraded the car with a Holley fuel‑injection system and a high‑efficiency aluminum radiator, enhancing performance while preserving originality.
