The 1957 Chevrolet is a car that was introduced by Chevrolet on September 11, 1956 for the 1957 model year. It was available in three models in the series: the upscale Chevrolet Bel Air, the midrange “Chevrolet 210”, and the “Chevrolet 150”. Initially, General Motors executives wanted an all-new car for 1957, but production delays necessitated the 1955-1956 design for another year. In NASCAR racing the 283 with its increased horsepower gave ’57 a spectacular advantage in the smallest 265 V8 the ’55 and ’56 have ever had.NASCAR celebrates competition, especially ’55-’57
