Year: 1957
Make: Chevrolet
Model: Bel Air
Registration: 810 YUC
Chassis No: SAJ28681V
Odometer: 48,630

Few cars capture the visual appeal of 1950s American motoring quite like a 1957 Chevrolet. With its distinctive tail fins, sweeping side mouldings, substantial chrome bumpers and twin bonnet ornaments, its styling remains instantly recognisable. The generous proportions and spacious interior complete a design that brings considerable presence to any gathering of classic cars.

Presented in beige with contrasting pink roof and rear quarter panels, this four-door example combines that unmistakable appearance with right-hand drive. The cabin features broad bench seats upholstered in brown, complemented by a two-tone dashboard, a large steering wheel with chrome horn ring and an imposing instrument binnacle. Under the bonnet sits a Chevrolet 4.5 litre V8.

Previously registered overseas, this Chevrolet was first registered in the UK on 7th October 2010. The supplied keeper record lists our vendor from that date, with no former UK keepers recorded, representing approximately sixteen years of custodianship. The odometer displays 48,630, and the car is fully UK registered with a V5 registration document.

Purchased for a large and prominent collection, this example has been housed indoors throughout its time in the collection, regularly maintained by the custodian's mechanics and taken to local shows annually. The vendor describes the Chevrolet, along with the other cars offered from his collection, as running and driving.

The car displays age-related wear but is therefore offers scope for bodywork and cosmetic improvement, while its distinctive colour scheme, period detailing and spacious cabin provide an appealing point for an enthusiast. Offered following long-term collection ownership, this Chevrolet presents an opportunity to acquire a characterful American classic with the convenience of right-hand drive.
