American car designs ran in three-year cycles. Typically, y the third year the car was in dire need of freshening. The 1957 Chevy was the exception that disproved the rule. The whole car was lowered through a combination of smaller wheels and body modifications, nd the nose and tail were updated with Cadillac cues, esulting in a baby Eldorado of sorts. The V-8 was bored an eighth of an inch to 283 cubic inches, vailable in six stages of tune. At the top of the chart was the Corvette V-8 with 10.5:1 compression. Rochester fuel injection developed the magic one horsepower per cubic inch. Four-speed transmissions had yet to reach Chevrolet’s passenger car option list, o the sole transmission choice for this engine was a column-shifted heavy-duty three-speed.

This 1957 fuelie convertible was the subject of a correct, rame-off restoration to show-quality standards done by well respected experts Legendary Motorcars of Canada. The option list is short: a pushbutton AM radio, hitewall tires with spinner hubcaps, -Z-Eye tinted glass, eater-defroster and a dashboard clock. The odometer reads just400 miles since restoration.
