'57 Chevy

The 1957 Chevrolet is an automobile manufactured by the Chevrolet division of General Motors. Styled by Clare Mackichan, the 1957 Chevrolet, or 57 Chevy as it is often referred, was available in three versions: the luxury-oriented Bel Air, the mid-range 210 and the economical 150 and available in a number of different configurations. Despite not selling as well as Chevrolet might have hoped, the 57 Chevy is a popular and sought after classic car and is often considered an American automotive icon. 1,555,316 were sold for 1957. A popular and long running model in largely continuous production since 1977, the 57 Chevy is one of the most frequently collected and popular Hot Wheels models. It is available with both a closed hood and a blown engine and with plastic and metal bases. The casting was retooled in 2018 to make the interior piece separate from the window piece.
