A Motoring Classic - The 1957 Chevrolet Convertible

Classic car buffs all over the world adore the 1957 Chevy convertible

. The timeless design of the 57 convertible began several years back in the 50s and the love for this beauty turned out to be far more like a fine wine and grew significantly better with age.

Say "Chevrolet" to any vintage car aficionado and what automobile often comes to mind? It's the 57 Chevy with the classic fins. And when pressed, they will often state 57 Chevy convertible.

The adoration for this vintage convertible car has amplified 10-fold since 1957. What actually helps these vintage cars are the modern technological innovations available to make these Chevy classics run and drive better than brand new cars. There's also one more reason for the love of these timeless classics that is hands down the most effective action you are able to get. A 1957 Chevy convertible magnificently restored generates all kinds of attention, apparently so more from the gals. This produces the "WOW" for the automobile we love, and which (lots of other individuals do as well).

Harley Earl, GM development guru was placed under tremendous pressure in the preceding years. The public was anticipating performance that far surpassed the requirements demanded by the roadways the cars could be driven on. Innovative design and speed had been at the top of the list for 1957 model.

Meant to take on its European counterparts, with companies like MG, Mercedes and others, weak sales prior to 1957 demonstrated General Motors was not willing to compromise quality. At this time in history, the American vehicle marketplace desired a brand new model with speed and style.

When Chevrolet acknowledged improvements were needed to enhance sales they rapidly leaped into action. Starting with a bit of indecision they were in the ring fight to pull off something special. The something special proved to be Chevrolet's new V8 engine.

Numerous individuals believed the 57 Chevy was similar to the preceding year's design in looks. But the 1957 took the US by surprise with the new V8 specially modified to squash the European competitors. For the very first time in American motor history, Chevrolet was on top of world. 1957 was the year that produced the most recognized vehicle on the planet today.

The 1957 Chevy convertible still carries such a popularity that 45 years later to the day, Chevrolet ran an advertising promotion which showcased the 57. It certainly didn't hurt that Don Maclean's pop music time honored song "American Pie" featured driving a "Chevy to the levee". Today's masses might not know who Don is, but certainly they know just what he drove to the levee. And there was another wonderful tune by Prince Little called "Red Corvette"; everyone appreciates it was his 1957 Chevy convertible he was singing about.

Still true right now many of us still remember the old billboard advertisment of Chevrolet throughout the USA. They stood proud telling the people of this excellent country that they don't write songs about Volvos! And it's still true today!
