Chevrolet 210 1957
General description :
With its sporty color combination and 283 dual quad drivetrain, this Bel Air is the kind of well-done cruiser that perpetuates the nearly universal appeal of a stock model. And, if you're in the market for a fully-sorted tri-five, it can be your next crowd-pleasing classic!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Delightfully vintage and decidedly fresh, this slick sedan is proof that Chevrolet's decision to take a curvaceous fuselage, weld it to a sweeping roofline and decorate it with an ample amount of chrome was an excellent idea. Starting life as a 210 model, it was subjected to a full, ground-up restoration that included the addition of Bel Air trim, a dual-quad 283 V8 and sinister black paint. The quality of this body off restoration is literally reflected in the mile-deep black paint and stellar panel alignment. Chrome trim has been restored and shines with high luster. Gone are the thin wheel covers and bias ply tires and, in their place, wide Rally wheels with radial tires give the car a much more muscular look. She is sure to turn heads wherever it goes!
ENGINE
Lift the hood and you will immediately recognize the dual quad 283 by the prominent 'bat wing' air cleaner. Twin Carter four-barrel carbs ride atop correct Power Pack cylinder heads and a brightly painted 283 cu in lower end. The engine compartment itself is accurately restored and showcases the level of detail that has gone into the restoration. It is an engine compartment that will have you standing proud at any cruise event.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
The frame off restoration allowed for a fresh coat of red oxide paint on the 210s solid floor pans, which makes a great back drop for the restored frame and chassis components. A stout 3-speed manual transmission and 8.2' rear axle are found backing the V8. And new replacement exhaust, fresh shocks and overhauled drum brakes at each corner are in place as expected.
INTERIOR
Featuring a stunning array of black and red accents, this tri-five's carefully fitted interior is both clean and impressive. New seat upholstery, door panels, carpet, and headliner give driver comfort, while a restored dash shines like jewelry under lights. And the passengers stow their essentials in a fully restored trunk that anchors a full-size spare tire between a correct jack and new rubber mat.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
