Always loved a Sleeper

 


You understand that restored '57 Chevys are usually not our cup of tea. But this is an admirable machine, quietly done and quick as a big steel bunny, with a fuel-injected EK-block 283ci V8 paired with a three-speed manual transmission. It was recently on the block for big bucks at BaT.  Look--any '57 that's  not painted turquoise is fine by us. Here's a Bel Air sedan  caught in Maine a while back. And a '57 wagon for sale in Saskatchewan. A 210 wagon in Moose Jaw, Sask. And here's a Bel Air wagon on San Francisco Bay that reminded us of Earl Swift's auto-biography of a '57 wagon
