This premier performance Chevrolet eventually entered the pages of history as one of the world's most popular production automobiles. The scene portrays the Chevy convertible in its natural environment - sun, sand and the beach.

The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is perhaps Americas most sought after classic, collector car. It certainly did not start out that way during production but time has changed all that. This was also the year that Chevrolet became a serious performance entry with its new 283 cubic inch V-8 engine that produced one horsepower per cubic inch.

The middle 50's Chevys eventually became very popular but the '57 was premier. A convertible on the beach, could anyone imagine more? These were the carefree, fun in the sun days. I could think of no better model year for collector car art. My automotive art repertoire would not have been complete without the fabulous '57.
