This car belongs to a fellow named Paul Malec. I've known Paul for quite a while as has Ken (67BBSD) and Carl. Paul is a straight shooter and has had a number of great cars. I like this one!
1957 Chevrolet 150 two door sedan, Highland Green with silver and black cobblestone interior. 350 C.I. with 4 speed. New fuel tank & sending unit, dual exhaust, radial tires, clutch, pressure plate, flywheel and Hurst shifter, brakes, ball joints, idler arm bushings and more. This car was an Eastern U.S. junior stocker (K/SA) from 1965 till 1975 then stored till 2010. Excellent floor and trunk pans with 37,000 miles on body. Car runs and stops great. Asking $19,500. Can email more photos. Call Paul 519-273-2786 or email.
I assume this would have originally been a 283 3 speed column shift car?
looks like it. It's a V8 radiator support, but that could have been changed at some point. Some very early 57's had 265 V8's. The back bumper ends look like 2nd design, making it a mid-year build.
Also notice the interior trim secondary color. The 57 150 we saw a month or so ago had grey as the secondary colot, this one has black.

Wow ! you're good ! second design bumper ends-mine has first design-can't believe you caught that !
Paul is also an appraiser and has had many 57's over the years-even has a sedan delivery-anyway yup its a good car-good price-no need to convert it to V-8 4-speed (like mine needs) Paul had it at Waterdown for sale if anyone was looking (it was $21,500 then) Paul has interest in the 62 Bel Air that I posted for a customer and can't buy them all (like the rest of us)

While I haven't had a 57 in 10 or 11 years, I know these cars inside out. I just can't remember all the extremely fine details.
