THE BEL AIR IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF THE 1950's GOLDEN ERA OF ICONIC STYLING. NOT ONLY WAS
THE `57 CHEVY ONE OF AMERICA'S BEST SELLING CARS EVER, IT'S 50 YEAR CONTINUING
POPULARITY HAS MADE IT ONE OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY'S MOST CELEBRATED CLASSIC CARS.

DESIGNER HARLEY EARL'S PHILOSOPHY WAS TO MAKE THE "SHOE BOX" CHEVY (55-56) PROGRESSIVELY
LONGER, WIDER & LOWER. THE 1957 BEL AIR WAS RESTYLED WITH A NEW WIDE GRILL, BUMPERS, HOODED
HEADLIGHTS, TWIN "GUN-SIGHT" HOOD ORNAMENTS & THE FIRST PRODUCTION USE OF FULL-SCALE REAR
FINS COMPLIMENTED WITH RIBBED ALUMINUM "TAIL-FEATHER" TRIM & GOLD ANODIZED TRIM PIECES.
