This 57 Chevy has had some safety and drivability upgrades. It was built as a factory A/C and tinted window car. It has undergone some restoration in the past. It appaers to have been repainted the original Adobe Beige and Sierra Gold color scheme. Upgrades include a nice running later model 350 Chevy V8, front power disc brakes, redone interior, third brake light, added electric radiator fan for extra cooling capacity and radial tires. These mods add to the reliability & makes it as fun to drive as it is to own. You won’t be disappointed. A car you can drive and enjoy for years to come.
