1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad

Frame-Off Restored Example

3-Speed Overdrive, Power Disc Brakes & Power Steering
___________________________________________________________________

We occasionally find the need to provide lengthy descriptions and explanations for the cars that we list on eBay. Frankly, describing this desirable, 1957 Bel Air Nomad is straightforward. The car represents a complete, frame-off restoration to a very high standard. As the photos reflect, the car has the appearance of very few miles, and estimated <1,000, since being total restored to largely stock configuration.

This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad Station Wagon is finished in Dusk Pearl with Imperial White over a silver/black interior and is powered by a 283ci V8 paired with a 3-speed transmission with and overdrive. Additional features include front power disc brakes and power steering. The car has been owned by a client with an exclusive collection of vehicles of interest near our showroom outside of San Francisco.

The current owner acquired the Nomad in fully frame-off restored condition in 2018 and has since added less than 500 miles to the odometer. The exterior and interior and engine compartment have a totally stock appearance with one obvious exception. A late model Edelbrock 4 barrel carburetor has been added but the car retains the original manifolds and most of the other original style components. The original carburetor is included with the sale. The VIN # decodes as follows:

VIN VC57L 165039

V = V8 Car

C = 1955-1957 Series 2400 Bel Air

57 = 1957

L = Los Angeles Assembly Plant

Trim Tag as follows:

Style 57-1064DF 57 = 1957 1964 = Bel Air Nomad 2 Door Wagon

Body No CL 4363 CL = Produced in Cleveland, Ohio #4363 Plant sequence production number (no correlation to VIN production #)

Trim 691 = Black / Silver

Paint 822D – 822 = Dusk Pearl / Imperial Ivory D = Two-tone paint

ACC EZ1 = Tinted Glass

1957 was the final year of production for the first generation Bel Air Nomad, and the model featured the same interior, gold anodized trim, front fender chevrons, ribbed aluminum tail fin inserts, and rear-wheel sheet metal as other Bel Airs. Extremely minor paint imperfections are too slight to show in the photos but include a small paint imperfection located a few inches below he left side rear window and a paint crack in the near area near the right gutter rail at the back of the car and a touched up chip on the leading edge of the driver’s side of the door. These and other slight flaws do not detract from the high quality of the paintwork and appearance of the Nomad.

14″ steel wheels wear full wheel covers wrapped in Diamond Back Classic tires with date codes ranging from 5th week / 2017 to 8th week 2018 in size 215 / 75 / 14.” The 1957 model’s distinctive sloped B-pillar and sliding rear side windows are shown in the extensive photos.The two-tone black and silver upholstery is complemented by chrome trim on the dash, steering wheel, door panels, windows, and headliner. The car is fitted with front seat belts. A spare is located in a compartment below the rear cargo area. Photos of the exterior, engine compartment and underside support the 100% rust free nature of this Nomad.

The Chevy is a pleasure to drive due to the upgraded power steering and power brakes including upgraded slotted front brake rotors. And, as important, the Nomad drives as well as it looks. A 120-mph speedometer has a five-digit odometer indicating just under 54K miles though the true mileage is unknown.

The Nomad was recently serviced including a tune-up, oil change and new wide white wall tires within 2 years. Additionally, a safety inspection has been completed with no negative findings and comments from the inspector that this is one of the nicest Tri-Five Chevy’s he has seen in years.

PURCHASING A COLLECTOR VEHICLE - THINGS TO CONSIDER

As always, we recommend that you carefully review the seller's background for any collector car being sold over the Internet. It is important to ask yourself a number of questions including, but not limited to:

·How long have they been in business?

·How much experience do they have with collector cars?

·How many positive collector car vehicle sales have they completed (positive eBay feedback)?

·How detailed/complete is the description of the vehicle?

·Do the photos show details of the interior, exterior, top, chrome, etc. or are they simply "glamour shots" taken from a distance?

·Does the seller have a Surety Bond to protect the financial transaction?

·What about insurance, licensing by the state, and a local business license?

·Does the seller (if a business) have any DMV (Motor Vehicle) complaints and/or other history of legal action, grievances?

·Does the seller enjoy a favorable local and national/international reputation?

·Can the seller assist with funding sources, transport and out of state/country sales?

ABOUT CLASSIC CARS LTD.

·We have been the same, small, California town for over 25 years. We operate a small "brick & mortar", indoor showroom, and specialize in the sale, consignment, and purchase of sports, high performance and specialty vehicles of all types. We have a particular interest in sports cars and unique vehicles.

·The majority of our vehicles come from local, private owners and collectors, and many were sold new in California. We appreciate that rust free cars, with excellent documentation and history are especially attractive to our buyers both locally, and around the country. As a result, we do not purchase our collectible cars from "distressed" sales, such as wholesale auctions, salvage sales, or lien sales. We do not sell vehicles with salvage titles, or those that have a history of significant accident damage or repair.

·We have sold hundreds of unique, classic and collectible vehicles and regularly deal with buyers that have not had the experience of purchasing a large (both physically and monetarily) item on eBay, or through an Internet source.We strive to achieve 100% positive feedback on all vehicle sales from customers around the globe and is a reflection of our commitment to accurate, complete, and thorough vehicle descriptions.

·We have been shipping vehicles for years and have established excellent contacts that are not only high quality but very price competitive.We do not use brokers, terminal shipping or other discount methods.Call us or email for a quote directly to your home or office. We are often able to obtain quality enclosed transportation (the kind of travel this car deserves) for the cost of open shipping.

·Please review our feedback on eBay (user name Never22Many) representing over 975+ positive transactions to buyers all over the United States / World.

·We are fully insured, bonded, and licensed for collector car sales all over the United States/World.

·Classic Cars Ltd. carries a $50,000 Surety bond to cover financial transactions

·We frequently sell vehicles to out of State / out of country buyers, and will be glad to provide references for buyers in your area.

MISCELLANEOUS GENERAL INFORMATION

·As with virtually all collector/specialty vehicles, we find that parts and resources are readily available for this (and most every vehicle), thanks in large part to the Internet.

·In addition to the purchase price of the vehicle, California buyers are subject to sales tax, documentation fee, DMV transfer fees, and license and registration.Out of state buyers are responsible for the purchase price of the vehicle with any local fees, taxers, etc. being paid in their respective state.IMPORTANT NOTE: If the vehicle is delivered or driven in California, applicable California sales tax, license, registration and transfer fees will be assessed per California law.

We ask that prospective buyers consider our eBay history/feedback, standing in the community, length of time in business, and other factors when purchasing a collectible vehicle from Classic Cars Ltd.

·Minor cosmetic issues/flaws may be present on every vehicle (regardless of cost) including small chips, nicks, scratches, etc. that can be seen on even the best restoration, or even a relatively new, used "pre-owned" vehicle.Also, ownership of a collectible / specialty vehicle is more enjoyable if the owner is familiar with the "realities" of these unique cars.Unlike more modern day vehicles, these cars require regular, ongoing care/maintenance and some mechanical knowledge, patience, and understanding can make the experience considerably more pleasant.That said, collector / "specialty" car owners will tell you (emphatically) that they love their cars and wouldn't trade them for anything!!
