The 1957 Chevrolet is a car which was introduced by Chevrolet in September 1956 for the 1957 model year. It was available in three series models: the upscale Bel Air, the mid-range Two-Ten, and the One-Fifty. A two-door station wagon, the Nomad, was produced as a Bel Air model. An upscale trim option called the Delray was available for Two-Ten 2-door sedans. It is a popular and sought after classic car. These vehicles are often restored to their original condition and sometimes modified. The car's image has been frequently used in toys, graphics, music, movies, and television.
"Tri-Five" 1955-1957 V8
The 1955 model year Chevrolet introduced its now-famous small-block V-8 - the first V-8 available in a Chevrolet since 1918.[5] It has a displacement of 265 cu in (4,340 cc). Prior to 1955, Chevrolet offered a 235 cu in (3,850 cc) displacement in-line 6-cylinder engine only. The 1955 model, like its engine, was all new. The "shoebox" design, so named because it was the first Chevrolet to feature streamlined rear fenders, was a watershed for Chevrolet. The lightweight car, coupled with a powerful overhead valve V-8, became a showroom draw, but also thrust the company into the arena of competitive motorsports. 1955 Chevrolets went on to dominate drag racing and became a formidable force in circle track racing. In 1956, the design was lengthened somewhat in front and given a more squarish treatment; under the hood, engine power increased and a Chevrolet Corvette engine was available for the first time in a full-size passenger car. In 1957, the V-shaped trim on the tail fins was filled with a ribbed aluminum insert exclusive to the Bel Air's upgraded trim level. The fuel-injected engine represented the first time that an internal combustion gasoline engine in a passenger car reached an advertised one horsepower for each cubic inch benchmark, although the Chrysler 300B beat that by a year in its 355-horsepower, 354 c.i.d dual-carburetored engine, and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint was introduced a year earlier than that (1954), with a 79 cubic inch (1290cc) engine that produced 80 hp. In NASCAR racing the 283 with its increased horsepower gave the '57 a dramatic advantage over the smaller 265 V8 the '55 and '56 had. NASCAR held the competition, especially the '55-'57 Chevrolet to a cubic inch restriction because of all the races the '57s were winning. This restriction stayed with the '55-'57 until they were grandfathered out of the lower NASCAR divisions in the 1970s as the '57 was still beating virtually all in their class

Nicely done '57! Engine compartment is done beautifully! And, the owner comes off as a decent guy. He represents the trifive world well. I just finished building a '57 Chevy restomod with a modded LS3, so I know how much work is involved in building a good looking '57.
Yes, thanks for the compliment!!!
My dream car was a honda NSX92 but after seeing this the 57 Bel Air stole my heart!!
The candy blue and LS1 motor makes this "57 an ultimate daily driver!Not to forget the controllable killer exhaust. I've seen a lot of ' 57 Chevy's , but this one takes the cake man! Well done
Beautiful looking car ! dig hiding the coils under the period valve covers... Thanks to Tom for sharing it with you, thanks to you for sharing it with us !

Nice ride man how old are you when you feel like driving his 57 Chevy?
Awwww🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍, this georgous 57 so reminds me of of the movie Peggy sue got married, charlie car
Thanks for watching!!
I dreamed of the same car, same metallic cobalt blue paint, same fuzzy dice, and my car was gonna be called blue lightning. I guess I kinda would've stolen his idea. Almost though. My car will have a 383 stroker and torque thrust American Racing 5 spokes. It's only a dream at this point. I have septo optic dysplasia so i only see from my left eye, which makes a lot of people think I'll never drive, but I know that if I stick to an automatic, and add other things, I should be fine. I worked on classic cars in high school, but so many doubt me to the point that it seems idiotic to keep believing. I just need to find the right friends, an abandoned '57 Bel air somewhere near Spokane Washington, and a good driving instructor. One that's kind and patient, because depending on my caffeine intake, I have the attention span of a goldfish. I am 22 years old and love working on the bodies of classic cars.(1970s or older) and I'm tired of being told I need a wad of cash and to go to college. I know that colleges won't teach you shit on classic cars nowadays. In the meantime, I'll just keep testing my knowledge, watching Roadkill on motor trend, and customizing 1:24 scale diecasts.
That’s awesome!!!!!!
@@gasratzcustoms what is?
You can still do it!!!! Make your dreams come true!!!
@@gasratzcustoms I just need some help. There's no way I can do it on my own. It's finding an abandoned '57 bel air that's the problem. One that is not too rotted out, but completely forgotten to the point no one owns it, and therefore I could take it without being short any cash.
I have a 210 Post and want to do a LS eng/trans swap. What's the best all-around kit for the Tri-5's?
When say kit? what does that mean?
oh he fixed the peg leg lol, shes a Beauty , so i heard Rubys is finito?
Rudy's is done. We had a fair well event yesterday.
I agree, that color rocks! What paint brand and color is it?
@wheelietom what color is this?
Custom mixed, not by me. I believe it's a house of color mix from 2012??
I wanna see a posi tom
We shall see one in the future.
That a boy!!!
Hi, can I ask what you used for tubular control arms and coil overs?
They are CPP control arms
Thanks for the update. I've been looking at CPP for my 57 project. You've been happy with them over the past couple years?
@@copper2152 Yes very happy! Drives like a dream boat!!
QA1 coil overs and adjustable shocks.
Old man on sterrioids
Get rid of the chrome wheels and get some machine brushed wheels. Chrome wheels are outdated
They are polished billet. Not outdated yet.
All that hard work and money and they put on stupid rims and steering wheel
It's ones personal preference. Thanks for watching
