Here is one beautifully restored and well cared for '57! If this car is for you, act now because the owner is ready to refresh his collection, but his wife says selling her favorite car EVER may shake up other things...

Pretend you're back in the day, sitting in a Chevy store ordering your dream car...

Go ahead, be bold! You know nothing will say "here I am" like a '57 Sport Coupe finished in Matador Red. Now, add the continental kit, dual rear fender antenna masts, wide white walls and chrome bumper tips that you desperately want.

Select an elegantly finished, gleaming, red and black interior with soft vinyl surfaces and cloth inserts - perfect for impressing your date. Choose an under-dash tissue dispenser for those romantic, teary drive in movies. Add seat belts for hard cruis'n.

She looks great but she's got to run hard too! Choose a more powerful powerful Power Pack 283/220 4bbl engine with power steering and power brakes. Finally select an AM radio to complete the package.

Now, stop pretending...we have your dream car right here, right now! She's finished and equipped just as it came from the factory - but fully restored to today's higher standards, plus air conditionng, cruise control, and front disc brakes have been tastefully added; which make this '57 even more enjoyable.

It doesn't get better. So, unless you want less, call today. Make this your Chevrolet for seeing the USA.
