    Today I see a 67 year old lady that needs some love and it reminds me of the old saying, float like a butter fly and sting like a bee, for she as lovely as can be .But she is still there for you and me. Nice old Bel air and she is something sweet to have for the price you see. No lie here for I have seen a lot worse at that price for sure and I love it.

    Tires are a little too low profile for my liking. Hit pot hole that you couldn't avoid you can say goodbye to the rims.

    Wow...chrome is spot free and shiny, the body seems straight, the undercarriage is cancer free, steering wheel and dash items all seem legit and the color combo rocks. Needs very little TLC. GREAT Ride...she's a BEAUTY!!

    In 1990 I purchased a new Honda Accord. From day one I ran Amoco 93 octane white gas in it.
    In six years I put two hundred thousand miles on it. One day my mechanic suggested that due to the high mileage, it might require the fuel injectors cleaned or replaced. It was running great, however, I told him to take a look at them and do whatever necessary.
    When I picked up the car the next day. He told me the injectors and engine was pristine. And needed nothing.
    To this day, my vehicles all get premium fuel. I get better mileage and fewer problems with the mechanicals. Well worth the extra cost.
    That is a nice clean ‘57!

    Pretty car..but I bet the cracks got rust underneath...that paint is easy to match, needs various touch ups..chrome was bright... wrong wheels wrong tires. Needs power. Steering. But yeah it's a cool ride Wirth it!

      That's not how it works. The higher the octane the slower it burns, which is good for higher compression engines. It does not give better fuel mileage, it stop pre-ignition in higher compression.
