Highlights
The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is among the most recognizable American automobiles of all time, an icon of its age. In the final year of the model’s third generation, it offered an intoxicating blend of style, performance and features with its freshly designed front end and tastefully executed tailfins. Importantly, 1957 also saw the debut of what would become another American icon, the Rochester Ramjet fuel-injection system. A constant-flow design, the Rochester unit metered fuel to all cylinders simultaneously from a central “spider” of injection lines. An enormously expensive option at $500, the new “Fuelie” system helped push General Motor’s modest small-block V8 to a potent one unit of horsepower for every cubic-inch of displacement. Designed primarily for the Chevrolet Corvette, the advanced fuel-injection system eventually made its way into Chevrolet’s regular production line as well.
The incredible 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 'Fuel-Injected' Convertible featured here is finished in stunning Onyx Black over a Red and Silver interior with a Black power-folding convertible top. This Bel Air was clearly ordered by someone with good taste, pairing style, comfort, and performance in one exceptional machine. This investment-grade Bel Air convertible was subject to a show-quality restoration with a complete engine rebuild by a marque specialist. Accompanying this spectacular 1957 Bel Air are notes from the previous owner listing all the original stampings as well as previous ownership details. We are proud to offer what we believe to be one of the very best fuel-injected 1957 Bel Air Convertibles on the market to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own one of the very best at an investment price!

Finance rates as low as 8.9%.
We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.
We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.
Terms available up to 144 Months

Daniel Schmitt & Company has described the above-mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability. However, as with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, and we recommend that the potential buyer fly out to inspect, as well as test drive any of our vehicles before finalizing their purchase. If it is not feasible for you to personally perform an inspection, we will gladly help facilitate an inspection by an independent service center of your choice and will make delivery arrangements of the vehicle for this purpose. All vehicles are sold in “AS IS” condition. Extended warranty options are available on most vehicles. Please be advised that no verbal statements concerning any vehicle constitutes a representation or warranty of said vehicle. Our goal is to provide you with the best service and buying experience as possible. All purchases include an additional $385 processing fee which covers the processing of paperwork, pre-vehicle delivery costs, FedEx shipping fees, and a 30-day temporary registration plate so that the vehicle can be driven prior to the title transfer. (ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please be aware that you will be responsible for the Federal Reserve fee(s) charged for all incoming wires).
In regards to winning bidders and Buy It Now customers: All winning bidders and Buy It Now bidders are encouraged to fly out and personally inspect the vehicle. If you deem the vehicle is not as represented upon personal inspection, we will not only refund your deposit, but will also reimburse your airfare at the cost of a coach ticket. Feedback must be left at the time of delivery upon final inspection.
Pertaining to non-eBay winners: Anyone who has provided a deposit but whose purchase is still pending, please note that said vehicle will not be held and is subject to being sold at any time until all contingencies are removed and the purchase order is signed.
