    Hi those old tri fives are real beauties to have especially the 57 convertibles general motors really knew what car would make a lot of money & sure become collectors item for every one to have yes the (55,56,57) were generals motors most pride & joy those years ago it nice to see that there is quite a lot of them on the rds again in perfect conditions compared to how it looked when one finds them there is nothing nicer then hearing a beautiful 327 or 350 small block rumble on the open rds face it who does not like the sound of V8 motor I'm real car freak I love those old tri fives,impala,nova,GTO,Chevelles etc we had a 1964 Pontiac parrisenne many years ago lovely beautiful long car same front head lights like the GTO & tail lights too it was red & white with red bench seats inside electric windows,power steering but because we had a small garage & the car was little long in length we sold it instead of leaving it out side to get stolen I'm from south Africa so cars are targets & we stayed in Athlone area that guy sure pick up a gorgeous beautiful 57 hard top Chevy will sound nicer if he fits a V8 & two stainless steel exhausts so that V8 can give off that gorgeous rumbling sound even that interior looks very neat also that impala convertible sure is a beauty that he has not a dent or rust on the body even the interior looks immaculate for such old car & SS too which is very rare to get these days hopefully the 409 is still running & looks neat,clean under the hood it will be nice if all that rubbish be sorted out around the car tidy up that big huge garage keep all his work stuff together,garden tools together away from the impala so if he decides to drive it again or sell it it easy to remove that's the only thing I don't understand why do people have these very huge big garages for cars but ends up lot of trash sitting on the cars and under the cars etc do any one know what panel van it is that covered next to the impala regards jason ?

    Nice find. I owned a 57 convertable 30 years ago in England. Nice to see there is pilerless still sitting around. Tip for you. No safety latch on tri chevy hoods. Get your self a chain dog leash to clip the hood down in case she pops on you and fold over your roof. You wouldn't be the first. And you will be crying. Good luck man. Looking from Sweden.

    Back in 1967 I could have (If I wanted to) buy this '57 Belair (blue with white top) from my few doors down neighbor who bought it originally from the dealership but he was asking way way to high of a price at $1600 (mint clean all original, ww tires and pretty optioned) then but I declined as cars then were very cheap unlike today. Instead I bought from a towing company an "abandoned" by the owner a theft recovery a 1955 super clean Chevy two door post 6 cylinder 3 speed that was missing a generator, battery and radiator for the sum of $62.00 (lien sale). I wish I had a crystal ball then when it came to cars and seeing just how awful much some of them are selling for today.

    @Steverinomeister 3 роки тому +8

    Come on Guys 1:45 BelAirs were available as Sport Coupes like this one, as Sport Sedans ( four doors with no B pillar) as Sedans two and four doors (with B pillars) as Nomads, all Nomads were BelAirs, all wagons could be ordered as BelAirs. Now, upper fin trim was available in only two lengths the shorty was on 150’s and 210’s and the long piece which was only on BelAirs. I’ll stop there and finish watching.

  • @sgtyork9330
    @sgtyork9330 3 роки тому +2

    That guy was wrong. 210 and 150 models had short spears the same length on rear fins. Belair had the long spears. Only 2 lengths of spears on fins. I've owned four 57 Chevys. 3 Belairs and one 210. Still have my first 57 Chevy Belair 4 Dr hardtop.

I would bring it bring to back and keep to original specs. Too Manny people out buying them and making them into resto mods or low riders etc. My gold on gold convertible was stolen 8 years ago and never found which I bought from my gardeners mom who was the original owner. Car had power windows including vents, cruise control, A/C, vacuum trunk release, speed sensor etc. I have a 69 which is an original high optioned 61k original miles car. But not a 64 unfortunately.

      Lol... 😂 Jimmy you need to grow up and get a life , anymore stupid comments I’ll just block you from my channel!
      There is absolutely nothing fake about my show ,it is all spare of the moment press record and go.
      And yes it has a 350 in it ,that’s the only thing you’re right about.
