A gorgeous 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible hot rod in bright yellow will be up for sale in Las Vegas this year.

The Bel Air is one of Chevrolet’s most iconic models, and over the years, they have become a very popular classic car that is also receptive to modification.

This particular one is a 1957 model that has been reborn with some epic customizations.

Built as a custom hot rod, this Bel Air is now set to go under the hammer.

Big V8 power transforms the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

Thanks to the seller’s desires, this Bel Air has been transformed into a bright yellow hot rod.

The car now has a massive LS V8 under the hood, delivering huge power and exceptional reliability.

It is a loud, brash, and dependable engine, and one that provides huge amounts of torque.

The seller mated the V8 to an automatic transmission, allowing for smooth and seamless gear shifts.

That automatic transmission also makes the car perfect for cruising.

The engine bay is very impressive, with everything installed neatly and polished to perfection.

While the powertrain is excellent, so too is the exterior design of this American classic.

A custom frame was built for the Chevrolet

The creator of this 1957 Bel Air decided to get a custom frame for it.

This allowed for a few more modifications and more freedom to change things on the car.

Not only that, but the new frame also increased the Bel Air’s structural rigidity.

Using a custom frame also allows for more modern suspension to be utilized.

This means the geometry can be virtually perfect, and it can help improve the car’s ride quality.

Better suspension should also mean better handling in the corners.

The seller clearly wanted this car to stand out.

It is finished in bright yellow, with bold accents and very striking custom flame graphics at the front.

Those flame graphics are perfect for a car designed as a hot rod.

Such a striking car will likely be in high demand when it goes under the hammer via Mecum Auctions on November 15th.
