1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-door 'Sport Sedan'

From the catalogue the top picks have to include this lovely 1957 Chevy Bel Air 4-door ‘Sport Sedan’. A Bel Air is one of the most sought after American classic.

Finished in Tropical Turquoise and India Ivory, the colour scheme one usually associates with a Bel Air. The matching interior setting the car off really well. The 4-door comes with a 4.3 litre engine with a chrome Edelbrock filter.

Sale estimate between £18,000 and £22,000.

This Ford Galaxie 500 convertible is finished in Black, with a red wrap over the top half. The 1966 car with its 390 ci engine appears to be a great example which has been fully restored over 25 years with all mechanical parts replaced or upgraded. A new interior was fitted too and helped bring the total restoration cost to over £25,000.

The guide price of £18,000 to £22,000 makes it look good value.
