- This classic 1957 Chevy was parked due to a small collision in 1984... and it hasn't moved since! Today I will bring it home and see if we can get her running again... Buckle in for today's adventure!

Your impeccable luck with finding and then with little effort make run again is just crazy. I am happy for you and hope you do the right thing on fixing the rust issues.... or someone who buys it will.
Amazing 👏 🎉
I was thinking the exact same thing.
judging by how the trunk and engine bay looked this is a decent car, i expected a lot worse!
usually a car filled with parts is a bad sign, but this one was filled with goodies.
im very curious as to what he payed, this could be a worthwhile investment for sure!
Are you selling it
Yeah I really hope someone who wants to restore it buys this one!
Would love to see it back to blue
How exciting to rescue this classic!
That is my favourite car. I was 15 when it was built. I’m 81 now. I loved hearing it start. Beautiful. I hope you can get it back to the original colour of blue
Alex, we love seeing your kids work along side you! You have good kids. ❤
In that Way Alex have 3 hands😅
I was just thinking the same thing. What great moments that you all will cherish as your children become adults and parents one day all of you will be able to look back at these quality bonding moments. It just makes me smile😍
I’m so happy she started
Watching Alex cleaning up the car was somehow fairly satisfying.
except i always seem to be eating when he does. hahahaha
In 1956 our neighbor bought a brand new 56 Chevrolet. I was 8yrs. old and have wanted one of them ever since. In Seattle, 1980 we saw a 1957 chevy convertible for sale on a used car lot that sold old chevy's. It was a beautiful robin's egg blue and was selling for $13,000. Can't imagine what it would be going for today.
Alexander you're the Fairy Godfather of rescued vintage vehicles and I'm looking forward to see what your magic wand will turn this in to.
Great to see you rescue an “eyesore” and make it somewhat more attractive again!
Love this car. Can’t wait to see it restored ❤
She’s alive! Awesome!
The original Blue color is gorgeous 😍
The best 50's car ever made!! 20 years old and that's my dream car!
What a reservoir of knowledge dad has, the children are very fortunate to have his input and drive.
i do like much when you buy a classic , i am a fan of these ...
I'm anxious to see this 57 running. If anybody can breathe life back into it, it's you.
That was a great sound when it turned over!
I am watching a lot of this type of clips and this guy is the first to clean the car before working ..
My neighbor had one of these cars in the 50s. He kept it shiny as a new penny. I hope you restore the blue color….thanks for great video.
Well Alex, this 61 year old Nana really enjoyed this video lol. Hey, I enjoy all your videos, but I found this one really special and I love it when you take these old, beautiful classics, and return them to their former glory. I would’ve been afraid that many people would’ve scrapped the car and sold it for parts to people trying to replace pieces for their car like this. But you took this piece of rusted Mossey mouse infested hunk of metal and in two days you got other people dreaming of it. I can’t wait to see future updates of you restoring this beautiful beautiful classic❤
Another awesome car saved by you 👍👍👍👍😁
I have my own 1957 chevy Belair absolutely love it❤
looks amazing going to be interesting to see what you do with it ❤🏴
That was awesome thanks for sharing this with us
Hearing that engine come alive made me smile! I do love seeing you take an old forgotten or discarded car and giving it life again. Can't wait to watch the restoration series.
I'm sure the neighbors of the previous owners are super happy that you bought that mossy old eyesore, Alex. Great work getting it running so quickly!
Great buy Alex.... can't wait to see it done.❤❤❤
What a beautiful sound when it started.
Awesome from a child of the 50’s
Oooooohh she purrs like a kitten. Can’t wait to see the restoration of this old girl 😉
Alex...you have instincts about old cars...the car whisperer! Amazing somebody didn't buy that car earlier...waiting to see how the restoration continues.
To paraphrase Dr. Frankenstein, "It LIVES "!Great start to a classic revival. Please go back to the original blue.
LOOK, no bar codes on any of those parts for that car. Long before bar codes came out. Way cool. Good luck with all of it.
So funny seeing the squirrel!! Never a dull moment on your channel!!! 🥰🥰🥰
The squirrel being in the car was so funny. I was going to comment that at least it's not full of squirrels or raccoons.
So glad you saved it !
Great to hear the old girl breathing. Eager to see what's next.
Wow, Alex you sure have a “good eye”. Leaving your name and number for whatever tickles your Canadian fancy is a good idea. Hour and a half EARLY tow trucks is unheard of here in the USA. I appreciate your work ethics and the fact that your sons are willing to help you with restoration and short efforts you took to fix the damage panels.
I’ve really got to tell my dad about Alex’s channel. He’s love all these neat old cars.
Love this video! I was born in 1957 and you are right about how desirable this car has always been! I wanted one and couldn’t find one I could afford. I hate these computerized cars with sensors that have to be replaced are more trouble than just taking care of the car,and checking for problems would be! Love the videos!
Wow so cool love it great job Alex
Oh lordy, a 57 Chevy! Covet, covet, covet! Having learned to drive in an "on the column" car, I could even drive it! I even remember splashing gas in the carburetor. Those tires sure look like snow tires!
Alex , watching this video was pure joy! What a cool car! 👏👏👏
Everyone needs a 57' chevy in their life. It would be soo freaky if you started it and the radio came on with 50's music. LOL :) :)
I was born in 1953, but this car was still very popular and plentiful when I was in my teens & 20's. It's still very desirable here in Tennessee!
57' Chevy was my dream car when I was in high school.
She's a beauty and purrs ! Engine likely rebuilt. Get some fresh gas ,oil & filter and go cruisin' . Well maybe a few other things 😉
Will it start ? Yes. Fun video. Thanks for taking g us along.
I can never pass by a '57 Chevy without stopping to get a photo. Excited to see what comes next with this one.
Hello Alex how are you and your family, hope you guys are doing well. Love watching your videos all the time 👍💙💜💚❤️💖🦋🌈🌺🙏🏻from Edith in cairns Queensland Australia 🇦🇺
I love the original blue color.
That's a Chevy 6 cylinder for ya! Start right up after sitting for 40 years! Great video. Thanks.
Old cars are so cool, the story behind the cars eliminate your purchase worries because it draws you in as a buyer . The cleanup is crazy satisfying to watch , imagine how many days outside the survivor has gone through be in your care is insane .
1957 Chevy my dream car, the yr I was born !!
Wow a gem 💎 Diamond in the rough.❤😊
I love this car!!!!!! Well done Alex.
Thank you for sharing. This has to be one of my favorites videos! A true diamond in the rough so exciting to hear it stat right up😊🎉.
I really really want to see you fix this one up !! I’ve seen what you can do on the other ones ! I would love to see you get the dents repaired & rust replaced with metal !! It would look great that teal color or black . Can’t wait , I love these cars 😊👍
Great new project car!
The car has been saying “Come, take me away and I will give you the treasures to bring me back to life.” Looking forward to seeing the next steps. 😂❤❤
You guys are so lucky, here in Australia we have nothing like the old cars that are in need of saving.
You make it look so easy. ✨🚗✨
I was brought home in our new '57 blue chevy (probably this exact model; possibly this color of blue as well..) from the hospital...I was the 4th of 6 kids of my parents and the only one that was brought home in a brand new car...as my closest sister always delighted to remind me~
Love the original paint
Awesome find!!!! She sounds great too!!!! I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing and have a great evening!
My Ma had a Pink 57 Chevy when I was a kid. Fun!
Six is GREAT - Nice Find!!
Started right up!
Alex is the car doctor. Amazing. Your know how makes it happen.
Really enjoyed this one. Thanks. Loved the Arkansas connection. That's where I am😊
I’m looking forward to following this car. You go Alex😃👍
This is a classic worth restoring!!! Match the original paint?
Scott at CWM NEEDS the old tires off the '57 Chevy. GREAT FIND!!!!
Oh the memories! I love seeing it brought back to life! Cant wait to see the journey!
How cool, great find. Excited to watch the progress.
OMG I love this project and to think I was a car content complainer ❤😂 I am 75 years old and you have no idea how appreciated I am for this restoration.😊
What an awesome deal you got the classic Chevy ,, quite a neat hobby for you to be fixing up ,,I sure hope it will start and run ,,glad you rescued it ,, enjoy
Incredible Alex. Very 😎 Cool.
I wish we could go back to cars with no computerized stuff !!!
It's now almost like con.
You have no choice but to buy one. And the cost is unreal.
I'm 65 now and I haven't had a car now for about 7 yrs. Can't afford the repairs on one these days. My dad always worked on all of our cars and he taught us the basics. When your only income is SSI it makes it rather tough to afford a decent car. If I had a older one I could at least work on it myself or get some help from friends.
But now it's busses for me I guess. Absolutally love what you do AND love the fact your entire family gets involved also.
Way to go my friend and your doing great things too.
My uncle worked at Steakley bros Chevy in Tx from the 50s til late 80s. My cousin had a slew of unbelievable used cars including a 2 dr. 57' just like that one in factory gold w/ gold and brown interior. He had this car in the 70s for a few months. lt had the 6 cyl as well. l drove it w/ less than 20k miles on it and it felt brand new. True garage kept one owner grandma's car. The interior was like new. l cherish the times l got to ride and drive in the 50s and 60s cars when they were low miles like new still in the 70s now when l see these videos. One of the perks of being old. l also live in the house l grew up in and was burying a dead cat recently where my sandbox was in the 60s and found my redline dodge charger hot wheels from then and l thought about curiosity inc.
Great find! I love classic Chevy's! Amazing it started!! Looking forward to seeing it all finished.
Looks like a winner. Good job Alex. You have a good eye for possibiilties. Waiting to see what you make of this classic.
That’s a great project!! ‘57 Chevy, the American (and Canadian!!) classic. It will be fun to follow your progress. Keeping it original? 😊
Good luck with your new project. 🍀
It’s gonna be a beauty ❤️
WTG!Glad you got it Running!🌴😎♥️♥️♥️Mary in Florida not David B. My I Pad Now! From my older Daughter! 😁😉😎🌴🌴🌴♥️😉
great job....love me a 57.....yes nice to heare something run after those setting years 👋
I cannot wait to see this completely done!!! Go Alex Go!!! You are AMAZING!!!!
All the best as you work on a classic.
Try the lugs that have the shaft "collars" on the back that are used by a number of the aftermarket wheels as adapters. Those could possibly work for you. The '57 looks nice. I'm kind of spoiled with rust-free, being in Arizona. (Now if I could only afford them!) Keep up the great work! EDIT- I put this up before I could finish watching. Nice of him to bring you the right lugs!
They don't build them like they used to! Have fun.
It really is a cool looking car. And just a couple days of Alexander know-how and it's running! Would love to see it in it's original color. What a great one-owner find!
What wonderful memories this brought back for me. First 3 speed on the column I learned to drive in 1973. Thank you for your wonderful adventures you share
i am pretty sure this is the best 50s car to own because all the parts to fix rust and issues and what ever else are available.
I live here in central ARKANSAS . Really Cool 57 2-door . Look forward to what your going to do with it .
Wow! Sat for 40 years and it starts! Impressive. Nice job pushing out the dents Alex.
I love that car. It will be a beast when it's restored!
Alex my darling. WOW, I can’t believe you brought it back to life. You are a master car restorer. Who ever ends up with the car is one lucky person. I know after you finish with it. The car will be a eye catcher. Congratulations, until next time. Take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🕊🌈😇🌹👍🙏🌞🇺🇸❤️
That's looking like a pretty solid start for a cool ride
The year I was born, always been my favorite car. To bad it was left outside.
If it was inside Alexander would not have seen it.
You have the magic touch with the automobile. Great to see the love you have for classics.
Thank you kindly!
Great find on this 57 and the extra parts help fixing it up. You'll have it on the road soon. / T
What did I tell you about the pool house garage Alex? LOL 🤣
I bet Melissa is thrilled right about now. 🤭
It'll be beautiful once you get it all redone. ❤❤❤❤❤
Another Great Buy. 👍👍
May God Bless you & ALL of your loved ones ALWAYS. ✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️
Very pleased to see how interesting your Chevrolet appears after some effort.Hope you'll make a real beauty out of it.Keep well.Thomas from France.
