What a delight to stumble upon one of the most iconic vehicles in automotive history, the 1957 Chevrolet Belair 2-Door Sports Coupe, the ’57 Chevy’. Perhaps even on its 57th birthday!

Everything about this vehicle was as close to perfect as I could tell right down to the original car radio antenna. The only give away that this was not an image captured in the late 50’s is South Australian number plate which at least is small and unobtrusive.

I tip my hat to all the owners of this car over the years and its being here today as if it had just come off the production line 57 years later.
