57 Chevy Bel Air

[sonoma1993]

Do you guys think that Chevy should bring back the 57 Chevy Bel Air? I think they should, give it that classic 57 chevy look but yet still have some kind modern style worked in to it. I think it would be a nice seller and help chevy bring some more car sales back to them.

I doubt it. Large cars aren't where the money's at right now.

I think Chip Foose did something similar...... using a 57 body on an updated chasis/interior.

Not Foose, but here's one:

A great deal of the nostalgic popularity of the 57 Bel Air had to with the fact that it was a relatively poor seller compared to the 55-56 models.

And no, they shouldn't bring that big fat heavy unsafe dinosaur back. Old classic cars can be very cool and beautiful in design, but in function they always fall way behind modern cars.
