Art & Inspiration The 57 chevy pic thread

My Dad's 150, when we are done I should be old enough to drive it! A one owner car with 83k miles, can't wait! Lil CGM.

 

my 57 that has been in the family for 20+ years in storage. dad gave it to me a few years ago for my birthday!!

im undecided if i want to rebuild and build up the original 235 or to put a stout V8 in her.

Sugggestions?

 

My bel air hardtop. 327, Muncie 4 speed with Hurst linkage. Had a complete black brocade interior from a new 72 Monte Carlo and some kinda chrysler am/fm stereo that actually fit the contour of the 57's dash...bolt-in with a little fililng. Put many miles on it. Swapped my 68 GTO for it in '72.

 

Put it in the garage

 

how am i suppose to work on the patina with it in garage ?

 

Here's my project....numbers matching and everythaang!

However, thats an interim 305 while I save the dough to rebuild the 283.
Will be on the road soon

 

Here's ours--had on and off 34 yrs--posted here before-runs very well-have redone it a few times over the years

Here's mine......

 

here is my uncles old 57, 'Moctezuma's Revenge' does anybody know where its at now? My uncle sold it in the 70's to a guy in Lompoc. I've been trying to find it for years.

 

I know it's a little O/T with the pro street look, but here's mine. SBC, tunnel ram, 4-speed, 5:13's.

Our cruiser.

 

A '57 has been on my wish list for 40 years but who knows if I'll ever get lucky enough to own one.
I did get a chance to drive one my late best friend had about 20 years ago. It was a 210 sedan with a 6 cyl and a floor shift. It was a nice cruiser.

 

57 150.

 

bringing it back to the top

 

I've had 57s my whole and still do, but this is my absolute favorite. Saw it being built at SoCal. What a great piece.

Here's our 57's.
The Inca Silver/Imperial White Sport Coupe was my project restoration completed Feb 2011, the Harbor Blue/Larkspur Blue Sport Sedan is original un-restored.

 

wow, the blue 4dr hardtop is a beauty!

 

another cool wagon...

 

Heres my girl. Temporarily off the road for some body work right now but she'll be back on the streets soon.

 

Here's an older kustom rescued from dangerous storage and returned to great driver status. Currently we're trying to find out history of this unusual car, figure out what we want to do with it, or find it a good home.

New home found: Just outside Vancouver, Washington. ENJOY!
