Rarer than a Bel Air coupe, this 1957 Chevrolet 150 post sedan has all the right iconic looks, bold paint, serious V8 power, and a fully independent suspension. It's a custom and thoughtful build that shows us what happens when someone invests in quality.Competition Yellow is the exact right color for this classic. There were yellows available from the factory, but this is far bolder... and that sets the theme correctly for this Chevy. The yellow has an excellent glow that rolls evenly in the sunshine, which tells you there was the right kind of investment in getting this modern sunny color applied correctly. This might be a 150 model, but the side trim is borrowed from the iconic Bel Air. It looks fantastic as a bridge from the huge front chrome end to the highly stylized tailfins. And let's face it, when all of it is as complete and correct as this one, you know you go out cruising just to grab some serious attention. But more than just aesthetics, this one gets its fundamentals right, too. The glass is clean and clear; the panels line up nicely; and the doors shut with authority. It's a cool cruiser with an anytime driving attitude.Inside is a major upgrade from the 1950s. The front seats look like they were borrowed from the Chevy's later strato bucket design, and then given extra bolstering for all-day comfort. These white vinyl seats nicely match the rear, door panels, and headliner for a very uniform appearance. In fact, the interior and exterior colors come together so nicely on the dash that you will surely love the look of this thoughtful build. Even the classic style radio is a more modern AM/FM unit with digital tuner so you can have more modern tunes in your very vintage ride. You slip behind the wood and chrome sports steering wheel, and it instantly becomes apparent that this is a driver's car. You get a full set of gauges that include an auxiliary Bosch tach and a trio of additional readouts. Plus, the B&M shifter will be you new favorite place to rest your right hand.You might want to grab your sunglasses before opening the hood, because just about everything that is not matching the bold yellow has been polished to a mirror shine. And once you look beyond the style, you'll also see a nice investment in making this classic a strong runner. The bold-looking block is a Chevy 350 cubic-inch motor that includes go-fast goodies like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, performance intake, Comp Cams performance cam, Accel ignition, and aluminum radiator w/electric fan. This enhanced V8 exhales deeply through long tube headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. All the power has no trouble getting to the ground thanks to a stout three-speed automatic transmission. And while you're looking everything over, don't forget the undercarriage photos. There you will see an enhanced front suspension and an independent rear unit a true rarity for these shoebox Chevys. That gives this classic exceptional handling compared to its peers, and just to make sure it's an all-around stunner, there's also four-wheel disc brakes and the grip of Goodyear RS-A tires on those 17-inch alloys.This Chevy 150 has rarity, beautiful colors, and some serious performance for the streets. It's everything you want in one iconic design. So hurry before someone else grabs your dream Chevy. Call today!!!
