Started with a real VC code Bel Air V-8 car. The body was taken off the frame and put on a rotisserie, then transformed into this beautiful custom '57. It is a show car from top to bottom, but really it was built to drive with a fuel injected motor, a/c, power steering, power 4 wheel disc brakes and much more. EXTERIOR: Stunning color.

I bought this 57 Chevy from the man that built it in South Carolina. He owned it since 2003 and didn't get to use it as much as he should have. He said he was afraid of bicycles and baby buggys! His hard work is now available for your benefit. It is a really sharp looking car with all the comforts of a cruiser!
