Gorgeous 1957 Chevrolet Wagon, which stood for a quarter of a century without movement (6 photos + 1 video)

Made in the beautiful shade of Surf Green combined with white riding, this Chevy has been in storage for at least 23 years. Fortunately he was protected from the weather and stood on a dry floor, so that he was quite good condition, no visible rust.





Sometimes there are cars that you want to look at to say - look, it’s as if time itself has frozen in it. It seems that here now you sit in the salon, turn the key in the ignition, and this The trailer, like a time machine, will take you to the end of the fifties.

The radio knob will click, and through the crackle of interference hear - "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You ..." Elvis Presley, leaves rustle on the lawn, where on a day off a typical American the family went out for a picnic. Station wagons, or as they are called in the USA - wagons were most often bought as the main, family car.



This particular Chevrolet lived a long life, during which it ran not so many miles. The counter flaunts a figure of just over 25,000 and it looks like all those miles are honest. Judging by the appearance of the car, its owners rarely used it, and a quarter of a century ago they completely drove it into hangar, which she left just the other day, preserved in excellent condition.





Apparently, we have a Chevrolet Bel Air Townsman 1957 model year. There are, however, incomprehensible moments, such as short chrome lining on top of the "fins", because they must reach to the edging of the side windows, the molding insert is smooth and painted, while while it should be corrugated, so perhaps the decor elements could vary depending on the month of release.



It's hard to say which engine is under the hood. Of those available on that moment of eight engines (two of them were even injection, with mechanical injection system) were installed on station wagons mainly 220-horsepower V8 with a four-barrel carburetor ...



Well, we can congratulate the guys on such an acquisition, because Chevrolet Bel Air of the second half of the fifties - the most desirable among collectors, and among fans of customizing, besides, find a station wagon in such very rare condition due to their modest circulation of 27,375 copies.
