This 1957 Chevrolet 150 began life as a six-cylinder two-door sedan produced in Tarrytown, New York, and it was acquired by the current owner in 2004 and subsequently refurbished and modified. The exterior was refinished in two-tone blue and white, the matching interior was reupholstered, and a 383ci V8 was installed and paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential. Additional modifications include a front disc-brake conversion, 17″ wheels, a polished exhaust system, Classic Instruments gauges, a Vintage Air climate-control system, and more as described below. Driven approximately 2,700 miles since completion of the build, this Chevy 150 is now offered on dealer consignment with refurbishment photos and a clean Pennsylvania title.
The selling dealer states that the body was refinished in its current two-tone Inky Blue Pearl and White Pearl during the refurbishment. Styling features include an integrated front bumper and grille, twin windsplits mounted atop the hood, and chrome edge trim for the rear tail fins. The finish is shown up close in the photo gallery below.
Staggered-width 17″ American Racing wheels feature a polished finish and are fitted with Bridgestone Potenza tires measuring 215/45 in front and 235/45 out back. Powered disc brakes are fitted up front, and the vehicle is also equipped with power-assisted steering.
Blue and white leather upholstery with pleated inserts covers the twin bench seats and interior side panels. Additional modifications include a Hurst shifter, a three-spoke steering wheel mounted to a tilting column, Vintage Air climate control with air conditioning, and a Custom Autosound AM/FM stereo linked to a ten-disc CD changer.
Replacement gauges from Classic Instruments are recessed within the factory openings, and the six-digit odometer indicates that approximately 2,700 miles have been added since completion of the build. True mileage is unknown.
The selling dealer states that a 383ci V8 crate engine was sourced for the build, and it features an Edelbrock intake topped with a Holley carburetor, an aluminum radiator equipped with dual cooling fans, and exhaust headers connected to a polished exhaust system with Pypes mufflers. An oil change was completed in May 2021.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a Currie Ford 9″ rear end with a Positraction limited-slip differential. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery.
Photos showing various stages of the refurbishment are also presented in the gallery along with past awards achieved by the car.
