1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

When the "shoebox" style Chevrolets debuted for the 1955 model year, the only four-door sedan available was a conventional pillared one.

With the 1956 models, however, a sleeker sedan lacking a B-pillar was assed to the lineup. The new hardtop four-door was sold as the Sport Sedan and was only available in the top-of-the-line Bel Air and midrange 210. The spartan 150 still made do with the B-pillar.

We've had a 1957 Bel Air sedan on these pages before, but it was the regular pillared kind. This Adobe Beige and Sierra Gold 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Sedan in the photos was snapped in October of 2020 using a Nikon D7000 and a 16-80mm f/2.8-4E zoom lens.
