My GF's dad got one of these! 57 chevy; Had the engine rebuilt to brand new 2 years ago; but thats about it; everyything else is original and Its in PRISTINE condititon! A real head turner.

Not my type of car; but I sure can appreciate it as being a nice and rare car.

Thanks.

it's actually a '57 body and dash on a C5 vette roller. Inside it's got custom interior with 4 bucket seats, nice center console, stereo etc... But the dash is full 57 chevy painted to match the car. All drive train, electronics, suspension is from a C5, power windows, AC, etc... It's really a daily driver car that looks like a show queen. The front end has been cleaned up quite a bit. Took all the chrome bullets off of the bumper and the hood. Some of the chrome has been traded out with black; the bits that everyone expects to chrome are still chrome. But the other bits that make that subtle difference have been blacked out. Every year it goes on a FL to MI road trip for the Woodward Cruise, she's no garage queen.

She isn't small either!! haha

Lol, last picture made me laugh.

Also a 57 is in on of my top 10 own before I die car list. So far, I'm 2 down on that list.

You can't sit at a light without getting a thumbs up or someone saying something to you. It's a head turner for sure.

This photo taken last year with my iPhone (shows my soon to be winter wheels). Photography is not my profession

I have 2 digital cameras, however, find my iPhone and / or my iPad cameras superior. Hard to keep up with the advancement of cameras.

Nice photos all around in this thread

A little unconventional, just like its owner/photographer.
