Sweet, smooth & sassy: Chevy’s 1957 Bel Air Sport Coupe – Filled with grace and great new things
It looks agile, graceful and easy to handle — and it more than lives up to its looks! Chevy offers fuel injection and America’s first and only triple-turbine transmission.
You expect something pretty special in the way of driving pleasure the very first time you take charge of a new Chevrolet.
Those clean, graceful contours hold a promise of quicksilver responsiveness. And there’s something about the low, action-poised profile that tells you Chevy’s a honey to handle.
It doesn’t take long to find out that this car lives up to all its “advance notice” — and then some!
Horsepower ranging up to 245 translates your toe-touch into cream-smooth motion. You find that taming a corner is almost as easy as making a wish. And you see how Chevrolet’s solid sureness of control makes for safer, happier driving on city streets, superhighways and everything in between.
If you drive a new Chevrolet with Turboglide (an extra-cost option), you’ll discover triple-turbine takeoff and a new flowing kind of going.
Stop by your Chevrolet dealer’s and sample all these great new things!… Chevrolet Division of General Motors, Detroit 2, Mich.

Trips never seemed so short — or roads so smooth — as they do in this beautiful traveler. It’s sweet, smooth and sassy — with new velvety V8 power and a sure-footed way of going that’s Chevy’s alone!
Cars with Chevy’s born-to-the-road build are hard to come by these days. In addition to designing a car that’s just plain good to look at, Chevrolet engineers didn’t forget that a car’s first obligation is to ride, and ride well.
The new Chevy’s low and wide (as comfortable inside as you’d want) and built for the road, with broad-based outrigger rear springs and beautifully balanced weight.
That’s the reason for Chevrolet’s nice solid feel; the reason it moves so surely and smoothly along any kind of highway and clings so gracefully on curves.
Cars with Chevy’s jack-rabbity pep are hard to come by, too. The secret here is a V8 engine, with up to 245 h.p.,* that brings a smile to your face when you nudge it even a little bit.
Now if you’re looking for extra economy in your driving, your choice would be Chevy’s famous “Blue-Flame” Six. But V8 or 6, you’re sure of fun. Stop by your Chevrolet dealer’s and try one soon! . . . Chevrolet Division of General Motors, Detroit 2, Mich.
*270-h.p. high-performance V8 engine also available at extra cost.

That’s the new Chevy — the lithest, liveliest, sweetest handling number of the year. That’s why you’ll get more of a lift out of driving a ’57 Chevy.
Its pep and easy handling make it fun. Safer, too. It’s spacious inside, during in design outside. But still it’s a stickler for tradition, and in the grand Chevrolet manner, it’s known to be as trouble-free as that totem pole in our picture.

That new V8 in the ’57 Chevrolet is as quiet as a contented cat and as smooth as cream. And it’s cat-quick in response when you ask for action!
No household tabby sitting in a sunny window ever purred more softly than Chevy’s new V8 engine. It’s so kitten-quiet and cream-smooth that you can scarcely even tell when it’s idling.
But when you nudge the accelerator, you know it’s there, all right! It pours out the kind of velvety action that helps you be a surer, safer driver at all times. Its smooth, right-now response keeps you out of unexpected highway emergencies.

My dad had a 57 chevy hardtop in rust orange and he got rid of it. I wish I was old enough to buy it from him but I was just a kid.
