Too bad most people didn't have color TV in 1957 so they could fully see the '57 Chevy convertible at 34:10 in this old commercial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vWdF3L_qxTk.html

The 57 was one of the prettiest cars chevy ever made in my opinion.

@curbozerboomer1773 22 дня назад

Yes...along with some of the Chrysler cars...Fins looked clutzy on some cars, but when done right, it was a very cool look! I owned a 1957 Lincoln Premiere, over 50 years ago. I loved it, but had to admit, that the large fins on the 57 Lincoln was not a great look. It turned out, that the 57 Lincolns were the lowest-selling Lincolns of the 1950s. The 1957 Cadillacs outsold it around 3 to 1.

Jay and crew. After a very complicated day I get to sit and sip a glass of wine and watch Jay Leno drive what I have always felt was one of the finest body designs every to come out of GM. What a beautiful car and how nice to spend some time with Jay. Tomorrow is my birthday, I'll be 84. I'm a gearhead and proud of it. Thank you for the drive in a candy apple '57 Chevy Bel Air. Wonderful!!

OMG! When Mr. DeJoria walked on, I thought he looked familiar. I never noticed his last name until Jay mentioned his last name which more focused my attention. I met him a few years ago when he went to see his daughter race at Indy. I talked with him a few minutes. He seemed like a super nice guy.

That car is exactly what I wanted back in 1960. ‘57 Chevy Belaire, 283 Power Pak, dual exhausts, and ‘57 Dodge Lancer wheel covers. Ended up with a ‘57 Rambler. Clean car but not fast. Its seats folded down into a bed. My best buddy had a 1960 Corvette, 270 BHP, dual quads. Power top. We would swap cars when he had a hot date. I got to burn his tires off + a tank of gas. I would get back a freshly detailed vehicle with a full tank of gas. Good old days. And the ‘57 Chevy still lights my fire…

Steve Magnante needs help! He's recovering from an infection in his brain and is doing better physically. But financially, not so good. Everyone in the automotive community who knows Steve, or knows of him, knows that he is important to our hobby. Im hoping that the people from Motor Trend or Barrett Jackson will help. But im not counting on it. If there's anything you can do to help, please do. If you're like me and can't help financially. Spread the word so maybe we can get the right people involved so Steve doesn't have to sell everything he owns to survive. Nobody should go broke because they got sick. Spread the word! Help Steve!

Yes Steve is an auto guru and a great person. Maybe some of us could donate project cars for a charity auction.

I remember being in the third grade in the mid-60s and my teacher telling us to expect that we would soon have National Health Care. Yeah, unfortunately there are too many greedy insurance companies and lobbyists in the way these days for that to ever happen. Nixon absolutely opened the door for that one.

I had for almost 40 yrs & before I ever drove it I lost it in a horrendous fire along with my 111 Van Norman crankshaft grinder 1944 Model year that worked perfect (grinds cranks between centers same as the factory work & no need to rebalance "a precise " ) & machine shop I spent my whole life building up after working for a Shipwright retired from the Halifax Shipyards after WW2 . The Shipwright had tools my grandad made for him . Some days are diamonds & some days are coal ! Thanks this a diamond day ! Perfect I love it and we all know you can not improve on perfection . The earth is perfect with more than enough space for everyone to get along together . You 2 looked like a couple of kids having the time of your life . Good work fellas keep it up . We need a lot more like you 2 ! (clones lol) Gooday A Thanks So Much Jay , John for all your efforts . James T.

My mom bought me a 1956 Bel Air 2-door hardtop in 1976 for $200.00. A few years later, I was driving and I looked down an alley and saw the fins of a '57 Bel Air. It was covered so I didn't know what model it was. I rang the doorbell. An old man answered the door. He said, "I'll show you." He pulled the cover off and it was a Red and white Convertible in absolute mint condition with 17,000 miles on it. He said, "I'll let you have it for $1,500.00. I couldn't come up with the money!

@BillyLintzenich-wf7sk 25 дней назад

Although i'm a ford guy i do like those tri-five chevys. Btw i have a similiar story except i didnt try to come up with $2500 when i should have. In '80 i looked at a ugly green 67 gt500 shelby with a blown up motor or a 57 nomad for $9500 sitting in maryland back around 2010. Anyway enough about the ones that got away.

@donhathaway3234 26 дней назад

Your comment about being affordable back in the day brought back a fun memory. In 1970 a friend of mine had a 57 2 door post model. 283, 3 on the tree. He was in the process of buying a 65 Impala and he offered me the 57….for $375!! I tried to convince my parents but they were unphased. They said “it’s too old, you’ll just end up dumping money into it. Probably true, but it would have been worth every penny!!
