Generally you think at a Bel Air convertible cruising along a road near the sea and adorned by palms; this car however had a different life. Like every typical CL advert, on this one the seller wrote only that the car has a 283 c.i. engine and that’s complete: we can see that there is a huge… Read More New York rust: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible
It happens that some cars like this one, have a destiny tied to a one only family for many years: that is the case of this 356 (chassis #59065) which has been in the same family since 1958. Indeed the seller says that this car initially belonged to his mother in law’s brother when he was… Read More Running in the family: 1957 Porsche 356 A-T1 Coupé
Well, our opinion is that this Giulietta SWB, more than a bargain, is too good to be true. However, sending an email doesn’t cost anything but a couple of minutes of your day. Indeed here we have a Giulietta in need of a total restoration: body, engine, interiors, trims, chrome, everything must be disassembled, cleaned,… Read More Autumn bargain: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
The car posted here is a rare bird, unfortunately, like many CL ads, there is one only photo to discuss about: the one above. At least we can publish a photo (of a coupé) where you can have an idea of what this car could be once restored. It’s a very pretty little car with a… Read More Rough but rare: 1957 Moretti 750 Tour Du Monde
We didn’t ever think to see an Aston Martin still in a barn and, most of all, in a barn situated in France. This DB2/4 is said to be a 1957 car, so it has been made during the last year of this model and it’s called MKII, ore second series. Unfortunately this ad features… Read More Still in the barn: 1957 Aston Martin DB2/4
This car looks like a desperate case but we’ve seen cars in worse conditions than this one and, never forget it, it’s still a 3rd series Super Sprint. So what we have here is a dismantled car (chassis #10475), maybe because the owner gave up on restoring it. We can understand him because this is a… Read More Rest in pieces: 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900 CSS by Touring
Two are the odd things about this ad: the first is that the seller says that this car was originally painted in “banana yellow”, but so far we didn’t know that was a shade used by Bertone. The other thing is that now the car is painted in a dark bronze color outside, while the engine… Read More Banana, chocolate and tomato: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
That’s extremely rare to see a car like this in the U.S.A. but it happens that there are still barns which can amaze you. This looks like a former California car as the black plate says, and probably this car was originally painted in a very elegant pale green. Then, sometime in the past, it… Read More Missing rear glass: 1957 Fiat 1100 TV Coupé by Pininfarina
The Banshee was the female forest spirit in the irish popular tradition, in this case her name was borrowed by the fiberglass producer who dressed this 1957 MGA chassis. Many of these cars have been over-used during the years so many of the remaining cars got enormous wheels, V8 powerplants and many incorrect modifications: this… Read More Road spirit: 1957 MG A Banshee
What we have here is a second series Fiat 1100-103, called “E”: the car is in the U.S.A. but it seems to be a fresh import from its motherland, Italy. The car looks like it benefitted from a recent restoration, although some details could have been done better. The body looks straight with a very… Read More Black with books: 1957 Fiat 1100 E
