Tony's Blown ’57 Chevrolet Bel Air | DRIVEN | Ep 37

Pulling the carburettor off the engine of his Dad’s car as a 10-year-old and rebuilding it sparked a long-term interest in mechanics for Tony Rizzo. This, and catching a glimpse of the blown ’57 Chev in the early 80s Aussie film 'Running on Empty', was all the direction Tony needed to pursue his life’s passion - to run a successful mechanics shop and one day own a blown ‘57 Chevy.

Never really been a GM man but this one is a beaut and a credit to the owner/builder of this sweet ride as he's a man that knows what he wants and by the sound of things does it, thus had the right upbringing which is a great help to start with. Thanks Shannon's for this one.

Gorgeous build. Thanks for sharing Tony. Makes me want to take a similar approach with my 79 CM.

Awesome video. Beautiful car. 1956, and 1957 are my favourite years for the *"Tri-Five"* Chevrolets.
