nice, never owned a 57, but lately  they seem to be entering the i can

almost afford one range

another US built car, this one with the standard heater.  Original V8 car.  Electric wiper motor is a nice upgrade over the vacuum ones.

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.
