trifives ◊ 2007-08-07 17:10	There is indeed a 2 door post Bel Air. The car pictured is most likely a 210 due to the abbreviated top chrome on fins and stainless steel trim around windshield (the 150 had rubber).
57 BLKWDOW ◊ 2007-08-28 00:24	This is a 1957 150 2-door sedan, it was only the ‘55 150’s that did not have the stainless trim around the windshield and rear window. I say its a 150 because of the lack of trim underneath the side windows, all 210 ‘57s had that trim. Its also a right hand drive car which came from Canada as a CKD and assembled at destination as did those that came to South Africa and the UK. You will notice the 55 56 universal dash.
Running On Empty ◊ 2007-09-20 11:34	The 57 chev is an australian 4 door sedan, 210 model, converted to 2 door, with side trim and the trim under the side windows removed. It has tilt one piece front, radiused rear wheel arches, blown big block Chev, Ford 9 inch diff, Recaro seats, Appliance steel spoke wheels and fenderwell headers. She is also fun to drive.
57 BLKWDOW ◊ 2007-10-19 00:20	Cool, I am actually also in the process of converting my 210 4 door into a 150 2 door. Not many 2 doors around this part of the world ;-)
