Lake Street Motors – Quality Vehicles You Can Trust

This stunning 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible has been thoroughly modernized with a focus on performance and comfort. It is finished in a beautiful metallic blue, topped with a power-operated white soft top, and accented by classic styling details like hooded headlights, twin wind splits, a wrap-around windshield, gold-finished emblems, and a concealed fuel filler. Under the smoothed and reshaped firewall sits a 5.7-liter LS1 V8, featuring body-color fuel rail covers, an aluminum radiator, and dual electric fans. Power is delivered through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission to a Ford 9″ rear end with a Currie housing, a limited-slip differential, and 3.50:1 gears.

The chassis has been significantly upgraded with a lowered suspension, refurbished front control arms, uprated front and rear sway bars, and replacement rear leaf springs. It rides on 17″ polished aluminum Budnik wheels wrapped in staggered Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires, while stopping power is handled by hydro-boosted four-wheel disc brakes with Wilwood calipers and braided stainless lines. Inside the cabin, heavily bolstered front bucket seats and the door panels are trimmed in gray leather. Modern conveniences include a custom center console featuring a T-handle shifter, wireless phone charger, cupholders, and power window controls. The interior is completed with air conditioning, AutoMeter gauges, a push-button radio, aftermarket speakers, and a fully reupholstered trunk.
