This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible underwent a multi-year refurbishment process that was completed circa 2010 and involved the installation of a 396ci V8, which is backed by a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. The car was also refinished in blue over a blue-and-white interior and fitted with a replacement white soft top. It rides on American Racing 17″ wheels and has four-wheel disc brakes, a Holley carburetor, chrome bumpers, and a rear end with a 3.08:1 gear set. Cabin appointments include bench seating, lap belts, and a retro-look Bluetooth radio. Acquired by the current owner
