1957 Chevrolet Restoration

 This 1957 Chevrolet holds a special place in our customers’ family, having been their father’s car for many years. In addition, of course, the ’57 Chevys hold a special place in America’s love affair with post-war Detroit automobiles.

The Classic Car Center has been asked to do a full cosmetic restoration of this car with mechanicals, as necessary. We invite you to follow along on our website the progress of the car at important phases of the restoration.

We begin with the car in its present condition and will be adding additional dated photos all throughout the process. For now, this is where we started:
