One item that I really liked about this car was that it was owned by the same person since the late 1980s. And had another long-term owner before him. It was also sporting the original 283" engine. And it was a real Bel Air, not a 210 with Bel Air trim. There aren't many '57 Chevys around, and I really dig the potential.
