The iconic 1957 Chevrolet is celebrated for its jet-age styling, with sweeping fins, a curvaceous body, and distinctive hood-mounted rockets. This landmark vehicle came in a range of body styles — including two- and four-door sedans, convertibles, and wagons — but it’s the two-door models that remain the most sought-after.

Sans the Bel Air’s gold trim, the 210 featured a more understated look: silver accents on the grille, nose, emblems, and fins. There were no louvers on the front fender, nor stainless fin inserts in the rear; instead, shorter brightwork and smaller wheel covers gave it a cleaner profile. Inside, the cabin offered a comfortable bench seat, a large central speedometer framed by the steering wheel, and a solid dashboard adorned with a silver Chevrolet script.

Under the hood, drivers could choose between a reliable six-cylinder or one of two V8s — in 265 or 283 cubic inches — paired with either a three-speed manual transmission or the smooth-shifting two-speed Powerglide automatic. However, the best way to enjoy these legendary cars today is with a modern powertrain combined with handling and braking upgrades.

This example is finished in Larkspur Blue, with a white top and matching light blue upholstery. Its drivetrain has been replaced with a 350ci V8 crate engine backed by a five-speed manual transmission. Front disc brakes and aftermarket sway bars improve its road manners. And the interior wears upgraded instruments in the factory cluster, along with an aftermarket steering wheel and a custom shifter console.

This modified 1957 Chevrolet 210 2-Door Sedan is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean Florida title.
