About This Item

57chevy_57036

From a numbers standpoint, the '57 Chevy wasn't as popular as General Motors had hoped. Despite its popularity, rival Ford outsold Chevrolet for the 1957 model year for the first time since 1935. However, the 1957 Ford - with the exception of the rare retractable hardtop model - is not nearly as prized by collectors today as the 1957 Chevrolet. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the '57 Chevy was a popular used car and highly prized street machine. It was the final year of the "shoebox" Chevrolet, as 1958 saw the introduction of a much larger and heavier "X" framed Chevrolet. The ideal size of the '57, combined with its relatively light weight compared to newer full-sized cars, made it a favorite among drag racers. The engine bay was big enough to fit GM's big-block engines, first introduced in 1958 and popularized in the 1960s by the Beach Boys in the song "409". The relatively simple mechanical attributes of the car made it easy to maintain, customize, and upgrade with components such as disc brakes and air conditioning. The big block however was not what put the '57 on the map on the street scene, it was the introduction and the over the counter, lowpriced availability of the 365 horsepower 327 in 1962 that was the blockbuster that made both the '55 and '57 Chevy able to beat the ford hotrods with their flathead v8's. This was a major turning point in American hot rodding.

While I was a bigger fan of the '56 Chevy than of the '57, I'll happily drive this guy a bit further along the geo-track.

This car has traveled a good distance given its age! I'll be moving it towards its home when I travel to Ontario in a week or so.
