Much more impressive than when it originally rolled down GM's storied Flint assembly line this well-done Chevy has been transformed into a super slick cruiser that consistently turns heads. Its glossy Onyx Black façade is the product of a detailed frame-off restoration that was completed in 1998. Naturally that rebuild included a full strip of the car's chassis and sheetmeta...l which lead to the installation of new rocker panels. Not surprisingly those panels complete fit and finish that's almost good enough to turn reflections into reality. And ultimately it all adds up to one super cool classic that thanks to its spectacular combination of color and trim has an absolutely magnetic presence! In 1957 Chevrolet's 283 cubic inch Turbo Fire V8 was the most common choice for factory GM performance. It made solid power created plenty of torque and even in today's world of 300 horsepower grocery getters is still lively and impressive. Behind that mill a correct Powerglide 2-speed twists torque to a factory-spec rear end. Holding that road ready powertrain in place is a fully restored suspension which includes traditional control arms up front and familiar leaf springs out back. Cushy turning characteristics are provided by the aforementioned power steering. Confident stops come courtesy of manual drum brakes. And power hits the pavement thanks to 14-inch steelies which spin G78-14 Cushion Aire POLY 4 whitewalls around ornate spinner hubcaps.
