This is my dream car. My dad told me stories about his 57 Chevy back when I was kid in the 70's. I have never owned one but have driven and worked on a few. This 57 is amazing, I hope it has found a good home.
My favorite of all! A '57 Chevy street rod done old school with minimal modifications for safety, ie dual master cylinder, (interesting non power), power steering, and A/C for summer time cruising. That tribal flame paint job is just sweet icing on the cake! I noticed the front fender side detents were filled in as part of the custom look. I would love to own this beauty. Many thanks again for another no nonsense fabulous and fun video.
Amazing. How Chevy hits a home run on that ride design .. Then they come out with that 58 but you start to see the wings starting to come around on the back of the 58.
Yes, place a mat of some kind when bending over a fender of a fine paint job car. What a beautiful example of a tri five car. I have a 2dr hdtp myself, Love it !!! Keep up the good work !
beautiful indeed. love the flamejob, too, it looks exact and genuine. these cars are icons of the 50s for a reason. :) good sound, too, and not too loud. often they will do exhausts that will make everyone deaf, thinking they will give some extra horses; except they don't. they just get on everyone's nerves. :P I hope this machine sold good. :)
Not original but a cool cruiser that's for sure. It's nice to see the stroker in good shape I think definitely get up and move you can afford it you ought to buy it
That sounds more like a really low idle, idle mixture, and the carb needing a going through rather than the cam. It might have a mild performance cam but if you clean up the idle it should smooth out. It wouldn't be that radical of a grind with AC. There was a vacuum gauge mounted in the firewall. I hope you changed the oil.
I think the car next to the Chevy looks like a restored Desoto Firedome V8 circa 1953 that i grew up with. I see the hood is open maybe she needs some love too?
Carter AFB rights own by Edelbrock. I probably should have known that but I didn't . Beautiful car. I've always liked the Carter AFB. I prefer them on my 327 back in the day. The carburetor float and valve with my first thought because they do not like to set. But in my book they were much better carburetor than the quadrajet.
You might not want to hear this, but the Quadrajet was a superb carb. They can perform with Holley's all day, when tuned correctly. Not many people learned how to tune them.
@@jhutch1470 different people have different opinions. Different people have different things that work better for them. You know if I was running down asphalt quarter mile at a time and quite a jet was big enough it worked fine. When I get out in a Dusty gravel roads you ever hear a cat and mouse? I reign supreme. I'm not saying that really happened I'm just you know if it did nobody around for Three counties actually it's four counties. Anyway youth and stupidity unfortunately very unpopulated areas. See I got my daddy's lead foot. But darn good luck I got my mama's Platinum toes will let over coat on my foot! I had to have that AFB I couldn't afford the gas prices my goodness they were approaching a dollar a gallon! Just a note you can't determine how old I actually am or not because just over a couple years ago at the end president Trump's time in the White House it was a buck and a quarter and I bought it for a little at 65 cents a gallon. Anyway that's why I like to Carter carburetors and then of course like Edelbrock. I met this fell out there in Colorado on the high plains and he swear he got like 28 miles a gallon with quadrajet whatever he had 350-400 Urban assault vehicle / you don't want to come and find me vehicle. There was a guy who ran the local gas station said there isn't a gas station around for miles so he must be getting pretty good gas mileage for that thing. He had a quadrage yet and around 4:00 in the morning he proceeded to tell me how to adjust Bill etc quadrajet so I can get great mileage and performance. It doesn't matter whether I believe them or not he's big old boy I didn't want to upset them at 4:00 in the morning at the local cafe gas station. And besides what else was there to talk about women! The carburetor conversation was just fine. By the way I talked to text my wife sitting here listening what I'm saying. Haha. I don't mean to upset in bed if you like to call it yet you seem like one little grain of dirt and it went South. And then hold enough gasoline. Been all fairness I met this fella in Tennessee we were just passing through. We start talking about a good old days my grandfather made and ran rum. Shine if you must call it that. But he loved quadrajet carburetors! Not my grandfather this guy from Tennessee. It was in a realized I was talking about my grandfather he was talking about last weekend. Okay I'm getting off too long in my reply more than usual. I have my wife laughs. Anyway I could rebuild the Carter and of course they made a version of the quadrajet as well but it didn't matter who made the quad yet it was me on my pay scale on how to rebuild it.
this car reminds me of the 57 from the 1989 catch me if you can movie about muscle car street racers filmed in MN cept that 57 had a 427 dual quad set up.
The pedal feel and travel was fine, there were no leaks, and I couldn't test drive it due to the truck behind it having no keys. The owner will test it once the truck is moved.
Hey like the truck the Chevy I got an 1989 c1500 350 40siers flow masters it's a short bed truck dash nothing wrong with it no cracks but any way what is yours
Why dont you and Christina go work on the 50 chest sedan and see if you can't get the engine unstuck and get it running the one that's been sitting since 1982 please give that 50 chevy sedan deluxe another try
I was thinking the same thing last night! It has been a couple of months since we were there, so the Mystery oil has had more time to do its magic. IT is worth another try.
How come no one mentioned that from the tags on the front fenders and the chrome strip at the bottom of the trunk lid that it may be an origional fuel injected car? If so that carburetor doesn't do that machine justice. Just the opinions of an old man. Great video and a great car. 👍👍👍😊
I did wonder about that chrome strip at the bottom. personally I know these cars only from model kits and occasional die-casts (they are very rare in germany despite being as iconic here as they are in the US), and never seen that strip. is it optional?
WILL YOU PLEASE DO ANOTHER VIDEO ON THAT 50 CHEVY SEDAN AND TAKE CHRISTINA ALONG AND TAKE THE BLOW TORCH AND GET THAT WATER REAL TO COME OFF AND MABEY IT WILL HELP GET THAT ENGINE FREE AND STARTRED BECUASE ITS GONNA NEED A COMPLETELY RESTORED
Don't get mad, but that's not a hot cam, the lope is way too eurythmic, and it can idle that low. It's a Thumpr cam. That also leads me to believe that it's a stockish 350 and not even a 383. I hate fake cams. They just sound foolish.
@@whattherust It is still a very nice car. I would certainly rock that thing down the road. I noticed it even has 327 exhaust manifolds. If it all works, more power to it. LOL I'm binge watching your videos. Fun to watch.
This is my dream car. My dad told me stories about his 57 Chevy back when I was kid in the 70's. I have never owned one but have driven and worked on a few. This 57 is amazing, I hope it has found a good home.

Thanks Grant. It is too nice for me.
Beautiful dream car 💓, thanks for sharing ☮️☕
wow great car ,hope you drive it ..for a test ..right on ..good luck ,man ..
I think I will. Once the truck behind it is moved out of the way, the 57 will be ready for a test.
Amazing. How Chevy hits a home run on that ride design .. Then they come out with that 58 but you start to see the wings starting to come around on the back of the 58.

Thanks!
My favorite car is 1957 chevy. love your video's
That is awesome car I would love to be able to put that in my garage
That car is really beautiful well taken care of
That is a beautiful 57 chevy
Beautiful car!
beautiful indeed. love the flamejob, too, it looks exact and genuine. these cars are icons of the 50s for a reason. :)
good sound, too, and not too loud. often they will do exhausts that will make everyone deaf, thinking they will give some extra horses; except they don't. they just get on everyone's nerves. :P
I hope this machine sold good. :)
BEAUTIFUL’57
That can does make an unusual sound.
That sounds so good
Surprised C didn't comment on the car's looks.
Not original but a cool cruiser that's for sure.
It's nice to see the stroker in good shape I think definitely get up and move you can afford it you ought to buy it
I use Lucas spray wax when doing that with a microfiber cloth. Nice car to bad it's not a hardtop. Thanks for another video.
That car looks too perfect to drive.
Damn,wish I had seen this episode earlier,I may have bought it.
It was still available a month ago. IF you are interested, I can check with the owner.
Looks like a yard sale is planned (It certainly can't be a garage sales.)
Sounds nice
That sounds more like a really low idle, idle mixture, and the carb needing a going through rather than the cam. It might have a mild performance cam but if you clean up the idle it should smooth out. It wouldn't be that radical of a grind with AC. There was a vacuum gauge mounted in the firewall.

That's a very DAMN good car.
Sounds good to me!😁👍🛠️
Oh, oh....we saw that plate #!
That is really a smart car

Nice car!
This actually IS the car, I got a tattoo of. Sad, that the owner passed away. I‘d would have loved to buy it.
I think the car next to the Chevy looks like a restored Desoto Firedome V8 circa 1953 that i grew up with. I see the hood is open maybe she needs some love too?
It is a late 40s Desoto. Amazing low mileage original. It does need some attention, but it is so pristine I didn't want to touch it.
I'm currently trying to save a very rough 1950 Dodge Meadowbrook. I can't help but notice the background during this video!
That was an amazing low-mileage Desoto. Good luck on your Dodge!
@@whattherust The similarity is stunning. I'm sure that is a beautiful car. I enjoy your format and the lift you give to others. Keep it up.
@@aguywithwood9293 Thanks very much! More to come.
I know it's not the same car but it reminds me of the car in the movie, "Sometimes They Come Back" by Stephen King!
That 1958 Chevy must've suddenly switched out for an electric motor.
I like this car🙂

They are good carbs for sure. I have one on my 54 Chevy and I love it.

Cool. I'll look that movie up.
@@whattherust you'll love it, Geoffrey Lewis, Emmitt Walsh are in it, it's got a slew of fun cars but at the end they bring in the 57.
Thanks for letting me know that was a 48 DeSoto. Will you be doing an episode on it?
I was afraid to even touch the car, so I passed on it.
👍👍👍
What happened to the brakes it was low on fluid and you didn't check them 🤔
The pedal feel and travel was fine, there were no leaks, and I couldn't test drive it due to the truck behind it having no keys. The owner will test it once the truck is moved.
Do you know how much it is going to be sold for …. I am thinking fifty plus
I think $40K.
You have to remember, it is a 150, or a 210 post, it is not a Belair. It is also not original.
Hey like the truck the Chevy I got an 1989 c1500 350 40siers flow masters it's a short bed truck dash nothing wrong with it no cracks but any way what is yours
That is a 1989 K1500 4x4 short bed with a 350 and the 4speed with granny low. A great truck.
@@whattherust that's cool man there good trucks
Those older cars had a lot of personality, not like the cookie cutters of today
What about the car behind it? Is it next? What is a Kaiser? Enjoyed your video
It is a 48 Desoto. It has crazy low mileage on it, something like 40,000. The car is a time capsule. Totally original.
NEVER use paper products to wipe down paint. It is too coarse and will scratch paint. Always use a microfiber cloth
hey nice car is it still for sale if so how much ?
Last I knew, it was for sale at Streetside Classics in Nashville. I think it is still there.
A can of RESTORE will maybe get the 58 from smoking.... I have had lots of luck with that and SEA FOAM
Agreed. Hopefully it stops when the engine gets used a bit.
You flooded it on the first go
Why dont you and Christina go work on the 50 chest sedan and see if you can't get the engine unstuck and get it running the one that's been sitting since 1982 please give that 50 chevy sedan deluxe another try

It's a faster idling cam raise it up
How come no one mentioned that from the tags on the front fenders and the chrome strip at the bottom of the trunk lid that it may be an origional fuel injected car? If so that carburetor doesn't do that machine justice. Just the opinions of an old man. Great video and a great car. 👍👍👍😊
Thanks! I did not notice the clues to the fuel injection. Very interesting!
I did wonder about that chrome strip at the bottom. personally I know these cars only from model kits and occasional die-casts (they are very rare in germany despite being as iconic here as they are in the US), and never seen that strip. is it optional?
@@lotharrenz4621 As far as I can remember the chrome strip was on the fuel injected cars.
@@johngersna3263 thanks for the reply. I must have missed it on that Monogram model, maybe they forgot it, too?
@@lotharrenz4621 In the video the car has the fuel injection flags on the front fenders.
Hope you buy it yourself.
Well, I just have too many projects and this one is too nice for me.

Hey Brian! There will definitely be more vidoes of this Chevy!
It's idling too low
Don't get mad, but that's not a hot cam, the lope is way too eurythmic, and it can idle that low. It's a Thumpr cam. That also leads me to believe that it's a stockish 350 and not even a 383. I hate fake cams. They just sound foolish.
No problem here. You may be right. I don't know the history of the car.
@@whattherust It is still a very nice car. I would certainly rock that thing down the road. I noticed it even has 327 exhaust manifolds. If it all works, more power to it. LOL I'm binge watching your videos. Fun to watch.
Maybe.........
I would have liked to seen more of the video, to much Editing
Thanls for the feedback. It is always a discussion point as to how much to leave and how much to edit out.

@@wadesheets1794 Thanks very much Wade.
Please buy yourself a better microphone.. Couldn’t really tell what it sounds like due to distortion…
Good Gawd a'mighty...give that poor car a decent paint job, it looks absolutely hideous.
The only thing that car needs is a 4 speed.
That would be amazing,
