1957 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210

For the meticulous and nostalgic at heart story of how I acquired this amazing car. I was looking for a 57 Bel-Air Convertible on all the sites available. I came across one on EBay. When I called it had just been sold. It looked amazing.  A month later of still looking for the right one. I get a call from the seller of the one I missed. He said he had a good friend that he thinks may sell his that was in as good condition as the one he sold.  But it was a different color. I called his friend and we exchanged information. He said the car was restored. I was interested!! He then faxed me some photos and mailed me some old photos taking from polaroid. Obviously it was impossible to see what kind of condition and shape the Car was in. I made arrangements to fly to Iowa taking a chance. When I got there I drove about a half hour South West to the small Town of Norwalk. I arrived to a Farm and he was standing on the lawn with three Cars. 57 Bel-Air Black Coupe. A 55 Red and White Bel-Air Coupe and the one I bought. All were correct numbers matching after going over them. And in perfect condition. Thinking back now I should of bought all three!!! Who knew. He took me for a ride in the one I chose before he let me drive it. He and his son owned a body shop and he worked his Farm as well. He then went through all the details with me.  I personally think he was interviewing me to see if I was worthy of his prize. We got back to his Farm and his wife had a warm peach pie and we continued to talk. He finally said the car was mine if I wanted it. I said yes and thank you for the honor.  We went to his Bank and finalized all the transactions.   Arrangements were made to ship the Car to me and it came home. Time to let someone else enjoy the ride!!!
