1957 Chevy Bel Air

Best looking car on the face of the earth.Then again I`m bias.
 
Looks great, love that it's a convertible....


Here's what one picture looks like "inserted" instead of "attached"

Hi Denis,

Saw your post in this thread asking about the Rupes polishes, wasn't sure why it was in this thread and it actually deserves it's own thread so I made one for you here,


Is this Rupes a compound or a polish?



I answered your question in the thread and just to note, this is the second time this question came up this week.


:)
 
Great job on a real classic!! Love the white walls too!
 
Soooo pretty!

A car from my 'youth'.

Is that a repaint or factory...the color looks right on the money.

Bill
 
That color is called "Larkspur blue".It was a factory color.They had three art deco inspired colors...this one , Dessert Rose (pink) and Tropical Turquoise. (My color.)My color works well since I`m in the sub tropics.In the mid west perhaps not so much but I dont know.
 
I could have gone all day without thinking about, "Desert Rose"...LOL.

The 'blues' always really looked good to me.

Dated a girl in HS, she would borrow her dad's car (I was w/o car in those days-no $), sucker was a Desert Rose 4 door post! Now, that was one ugly car.

Ugly is a strong word after all it`s a 57 with a Chick driving it.

Yea, gotta agree.

But will it help my case if I say this was in '58?

Then, it was more about '49 Mercs down 'in the weeds', with a 3/4 Isky, 3 '97's', and of course, twice pipes.

We sure have gone off topic haven't we...LOL.

Bill
 
The 58 was the red headed step child back in the day.Can`t hardly find them anymore and if you can in good shape they are not inexpensive especially convertibles.I never liked them back in the day but now I love them.The 49-51 Merc is a timeless beauty.Sorry OP for getting off tract but that`s one of the great things about this site.We`re afforded a little leeway to both gain knowledge and get to know other members and their life experiences.Sometimes we even talk about detailing paint.:buffing:
 
Can't speak for detailr75 on this but i love that kinda talk!

And beautiful work on that classic. The pic that Mike selected to put in your gallery is my favorite! Gorgeous!!!
