THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE

AMERICAN CAR

OF ALL TIME

Most car enthusiasts spot this classic U.S. car

and recognize it immediately.

It's the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible.

The tail fins, those single front scoop headlights,

those straight clean lines,

and that wide "V" Chevy logo.

The '57 Chevy Bel Air convertible

was a "traffic stopper" in turquoise blue.

The suggested selling price in 1957 was $2,700,

and that included PowerGlide automatic transmission,

Power Steering and a mighty V-8 engine.

That same car today, in original condition (as shown here),

would cost in excess of $100,000.

What a beauty!
