That BelAir is sweet. Thanks for the detailed look!

My father had one of these when I was a kid in the late 50's. It was exactly this color, inside and out. It had a 283 cu engine, a 2 speed power glide automatic transmission, just like this one. I don't think ours had power steering or breaks, but I'm not sure though. In my opinion, this was the most beautiful car Chevy ever made, and this was the most beautiful color too. I took my drivers test in this car. I had three try's to parallel park it correctly. I got it on the third try.

My '57 Bel Air was this color -Dusk Pearl - back when I was in college in the mid 60's. There were several around our small MN town at that time. My father had a Canyon Coral 210 model at the same time.

Kudos to whoever restored it. Beautiful. I remember that color very well.... from when they were new.

[@terencenelson4472]

My Dad's '57 Chev BelAir was Dusk Pearl. Lovely.

[@franknew9001]

It would nice to have a time machine and go back to 1957 and buy this beautiful '57 Chevy for $3k.

[@jimpie231]

Nice car......I have seen a fuel injection one & I thought only the fuel injected car had gold badging. Thanks....Jim

[@rdstuart7831]

Excellent videos! Keep up the GREAT WORK! We really love your informative videos.

[@HorsepowerWarehouse]

Thank you very much!

[@mzaccagnini7179]

That is a beautiful 57. That is a Concours quality car

[@davidnestander4410]

I also had a 57 210 with exact same colors!!!

[@paulgrimm]

Beautiful color

[@follow_the-truth]

Really a perfect restored and wonderful looking car. And if I use the word perfect it only means what it says. Thanks for sharing. I just wonder how such a nice restoration is not documented. If I could buy this car I would love to have full documentation of this art work.

Hola

[@henryjewell3900]

My 57 Bel Air two door hardtop was an original Dusk Pearl car. We did not find out until it was being prepared for paint and body work.

[@thomasnorman7151]

The cars come and go so quickly like the days of our lives

[@0rl]

India Ivory isn’t the interior color. It is the color of the roof.

[@HorsepowerWarehouse]

Good call! That makes quite a bit more sense

[@anthonyfunderburk7871]

Awesome ride 😎 👌 👏 👍

[@paulgrimm]

I’m a resto mod fan. Give me a total modern LS drive train and all the modern goodies . Lovely car. That turquoise lemans is beautiful

[@Chevl67]

Beautiful restoration, thanks for sharing.

[@thomasnorman7151]

Everything is correct you are correct sir

[@DIFowner]

I grew up in the back seat of an identical 57. My mom almost gave birth to me in it on the way to the hospital. A bit of trivia… the color photographic films in the late 50s were never able to correctly capture this color, so any period color photos of the Dusk Pearl always appeared Silver.

[@charlenemariecoraninmemory5130]

LOL me too LOLOL in Chicago I was born in 1958 so it's true huh??????

[@thomasnorman7151]

Even where you can't see it's beautiful

[@thomasnorman7151]

He's a builder himself toot toot

[@toltec13]

I read some where that in 1957 California required the 1 piece front bumper instead of the 3 piece.

[@davidteeters2426]

Beautiful car. I had one exactly like it. Sadly I had a bad accident in it and had to sell it.

[@garybentleysr7929]

Sure that's called Sarah brown that's what mine was called in 1966 on my 1957 4dr. Hardtpp

[@keithhebert9334]

Back in the late sixties my uncle had a four-door hardtop just like this

[@hectorraigosa7149]

Nice one, I had one just like it back in 68 my brother gave me as high school grad. I've restored a few cars way way way under what some professional shop would charge. I buy everything from classic industries.. paint done by a guy in his garage who dies alot of custom paints for low rider show cars.. last one I paid 12k.. if Foose or classic car restoration shop would do it.. probably charge 25k just for paint.. interior I have done at a small shop.. in business since the 50s.. Nice car..

[@stevenhagebusch9561]

Looks similar to the 65 iris mist.....both beautiful colors....

[@thomasnorman7151]

The color of this car looks original to 1957

[@scottwilliams1175]

I have one same color

[@gregory1953able]

I remember seing one of these in the 60's. I was born in 1953 and my uncle had a copper color 57 4 door sedan. Went thru 3 automatic transmission's before putting a 3 speed floor shift in it.

[@craigjorgensen4637]

It was probably. Turboglide and not a Powerglide. Turboglides were available from 1957-1961 and they were JUNK. One of the worst automatics ever. The Transmission Shops hated them and would typically convert the cars to a Powerglide or a manual.

[@gregory1953able]

@@craigjorgensen4637 I think the worst tranmission was the one with GR instead of L for low on the automatics. My Bro in Law had a 59 Impala Convertable with that transmission and got rid of the car shortly. I was beautiful tho. Canary Yellow with a pretty Olive Green interior. He worked on cars in his garage and was pretty knowledgable about those things

[@thomasnorman4221]

Dusk Pearl what is the original color in 1957 they were very popular and very good looking like they are now

[@williamjenkins9]

My dad got one on ‘57….. it’s pink…

[@cartunman]

I enjoyed your video and I agree the car is beautiful. I know this car is long gone but I have to point out that the Dusk Pearl was not a rare color. And the India Ivory is the color of the top. I have a 57 Dusk Pearl/India Ivory four door sedan. I think there aren’t so many of them around is that when the 60s and 70s came along guys wanted black or red or blue. Anything but grandma’s color. I just had my engine worked on. I’ve had it for ten years and have about 39000 miles. It’s was in storage near Kansas City for 30 years. Im not criticizing your information it’s just that’s a popular misconception about that beautiful color!

[@bob44044]

I think what he means is the color is very rare today, not back in the '50's.

[@thomasnorman4221]

When they were installing the intake manifold they dropped and bounced off the front of the grill hit the concrete as it bounced off the mechanics big toe but it looks operable why don't you start the engine see if there are any leaks in the intake manifold to be safe to be certain Everything Is Beautiful

[@akjeff64]

Color is Dusk Pearl.. my 57 is the same color

[@tomasalvarez6040]

Interested in that 57 dusk pearl. What website is it sold at?

[@HorsepowerWarehouse]

Our inventory can be seen at www.classiccarsofsarasota.com Thanks for checking out my channel!

The two-tone paint was $21 how do you get to 20,000 for the paint today there must be some gold bits and pieces in that $20,000 bucket of dusk Pearl

[@ahmedelsoghirsaadhelal5728]

[@HorsepowerWarehouse]

It is listed at $73,500 USD. The listing can be found here: www.classiccarsofsarasota.com/vehicles/1006/1957-chevrolet-belair-hardtop Thanks for checking out my channel!

[@thomasnorman7151]

Shoddily mismatched screws I wouldn't stand for it either

[@bryanmartin2271]

I me my

[@jerseysideboy]

India Ivory is the colour of the roof not the interior.

[@thomasnorman4221]

Dashboard there are no dashboards on vehicles there are only dashes

[@Trifiveguy]

That color isn’t that rare but it’s a nice color though

[@thomasnorman7151]

The bezels are not beautiful but they could be sweet if this was vanguard Auto sales

[@thomasnorman7151]

Speculative about the manifold chip somebody could have dropped their monkey wrench on the manifold

[@craigjorgensen4637]

Sorry but that color is hardly rare. It was quite popular that year. Looking at this car it’s quite possibly a repaint with some metallic added. Doing this is pretty common. This is a very nice car! No Power Steering…ugh.

[@thomasnorman7151]

There wasn't anything wrong with that trailer that probably belonged to the 57 Chevy and your trash in his trailer on KZbin

[@thomasnorman7151]

Under the dash is not beautiful my girlfriend is beautiful
