The far less common 210 hardtop and being a Canadian built model is very intriguing because that would make it even far more rare. I like it............. a lot.

I know this car. I remember seeing it and "Yes The Little Old Lady" occasionally driving it in St.Thomas Ontario in the mid sixties. All us hot rodders wanted that car but it was never for sale.

Terry, how did this sweet 57 210 end up in the U.S.. This car is a very interesting combination to say the least. No offence but it is probably a good thing that the local hot rodders never got their mits on that car, a very good thing. Cheers.

'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
Reminds me a lot of the Atlanta built 1957 Chevy I bought in 1991. 210 model door post, with something like 58,000 miles. It too was radio & clock delete, and was originally built as a heater delete car, but had a heater added at some point.
Same interior as the on for sale on ebay. I added the bumper bullets and full disc Bel-Air hubcaps, I liked them a lot better than the small dog dishes that came on the 210 models. I think it's sporting the wrong side mirror in this photo, I had the top half of the door painted and the proper mirror installed.
Here is a couple that I owned many years ago. A 210 4 door sedan and a 210 2 dr sport coupe with an original 12,000 miles that I purchased from an elderly lady. Pix show condition when purchased and after a minor restoration. As said before should have kept it but had my eye on a 1932 Chev Roadster so sold the 57. Bob.
Since we are in a 57 Chevy mood here............... well here is mine from 1984 to 2007. 57 Chev Bel Air four door hardtop (sport sedan) that i did a body off resto from late 1990 to mid 1992. One of the oldies i owned that i really do miss. The car went to Victoria B.C. Cheers.
I checked out the ebay pictures and this 57 is very impressive. One question the 235 six is painted the same colour as my 55 Pontiac 261. Were Canadian 235 sixes this colour ? My engine is still original paint and all the Chevy sixes I have seen were a darker blue.

Al
Canadian built Chevy's with 235 in line sixes were ALWAYS painted blue. A "Blue Flame" six would look real silly painted green. Cheers.

I sold the 57 to a man that ran a Victoria B.C. taxi cab company. I sold it back in 2007 and i have no idea if the same guy still owns it. He might have resold it shortly after i sold it to him. I would be very curious to know where that car is now. I know this is an old story but i really regret selling that car because i could never afford to build a car like that again. The restoration i did to that car was perfect in every way. Cheers.
