1957 Chevrolet 210 Bel-Air Station Wagon.

Estimate £12,000 - £14,000

This iconic 1957 Chevy started off life as a 210. The 210 was in Chevrolet's midrange line-up from 1953 onwards. The Two-Tens were their best-selling models during the 50's offering a balance of style and luxury

Prior to the car arriving in the UK, a professional light restoration and modernisation was undertaken resulting in a car that was not only eye-catching but great to drive. It was aided by the installation of a more modern, 'crate' 350 cu.in. V8 (5.7 litre) motor and TH350 automatic transmission (with the original column selector).

In 2011 the car was imported from Florida by a film production company.

On arrival, the car was largely dismantled to give a total restoration of the interior to a stunning as-new appearance; including full strip-down and re-build of the dash and window trims. All new and correct Legendary seat covers, door cards, headlining and carpets were fitted. She was also well painted in the lovely mimosa and white you see here with all-new Bel-Air trim panels and badging and excellent chrome. She has a front disc brake conversion and has been partially re-wired.

The car was then used in a 2012 Tim Burton Film (Dark Shadows) before being sold on.

The current owner/vendor brought the car in 2012 and used it extensively for weddings and photo shoots and the car has appeared as an extra in several other films.

During ownership the vendor has kept the car well maintained and serviced including the fitting of a new 'crate' 350 cu.in. V8 (5.7 litre) engine in 2019.

The car is MOTed until August 2027

Comes with an extensive history file and a few spares supplied.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an iconic very useable, turn-key classic American station wagon that never fail to turn heads.
