Here is some info on 57 models from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1957_Chevrolet The only handyman were 2Dr wagons. I have a 57 BA wagon and have spent a bit of time researching the different models. The 150 and 210 upper tailfin SS is short(about 10") and the BelAir wagon's SS is longer, and the car SS is even longer. images here https://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&...2.3&emsg=NCSR&noj=1&ei=9GL3UMrTE9T_rAHu6YHYCg Body styles Body choices for 1957 included 2- and 4-door sedans (identified by the "posts" between door windows), the two-door sports coupé (also known as a two-door hardtop; the car has no post between the front and back window when the windows are lowered), the sports sedan (also known as a [[four-door hardtop]), the utility coupé, a two-door sedan with a package shelf instead of a rear seat, the Delray "club coupe", which was a 210 model 2-door sedan, two styles of two-door station wagon, the top-of-the-line Bel Air Nomad with a sloped pillar behind the hardtop door and sliding windows at the rear seat, and the basic Handyman with an upright sedan B-pillar and a C-pillar, where the four-door wagons have one, available only in 150 and 210 trims. The four-door, six-passenger station wagon, the four-door, nine-passenger station wagon (both called Townsman in the 150 series and Beauville for the Bel Air version), and the convertible. Unlike most competitors, the Chevrolet 4-door hardtop featured a reinforced rear roof structure that gave the car added rigidity and a unique appearance in silhouette. The 1957 Chevy was called by some a "Baby Cadillac", because of many similar styling cues to Cadillacs of the time. The 2-door station wagon could not be had with Bel Air trim, except as the Nomad model which had its own distinctive styling, mainly in the roof line and rear deck.
