Vehicle Detail

1957 Chevrolet 150 Four Door Sedan12,500 Actual Miles / Factory A/C and Tinted GlassThis is a super nice 1957 Chevrolet 150 Four Door Sedan. This car was ordered brand new at Ratliff Motors in Llano, Texas on May 8, 1957 by Lloyd M. Myers. Mr. Myers wanted a car as inexpensive as possible, but wanted it to have air conditioning. He ordered this car with factory A/C, tinted glass, and a heater, and traded in his 1949 Chevrolet. The total price of the 57' was $2,100 minus his $500 trade in. I have the original order sheet from when the car was ordered brand new. Additionally, I have the receipt from when the car was picked up on June 10, 1957. I have the original owners service policy from Ratliff Motors with Lloyd M. Myers as the original owner and this cars serial number matching all the paper work. The Myers family owned this car at least until 1984 according to all of the original Texas Registration Receipts that I have. The car was restored at some point in the past. The exterior of the car is in great shape. The paint is beautiful and has a high quality gloss. The car is finished in the correct factory color of Adobe Beige (according to the trim tag and original order sheet). The chrome and stainless trim on the car is perfect. All of the bright work looks like it was just done yesterday. All of the rubber seals are excellent. All of the glass is original to the car and is tinted as it came from the factory. The gaps on the car are all excellent and the doors open and close effortlessly. There is a small mark on the passenger side under the front door where someone must have chipped the paint at some point and touched it up. The mark is roughly the size of a quarer. The engine is the 235 C.I. 6 cylinder with a standard 3 speed transmission on the column. The engine bay is very clean and presentable. I've been told it's very rare for a six cylinder 57' to come equipped with factory air. The interior of the car is very nice and clean. The headliner, door panels, and seats are all in excellent shape with no rips or tears anywhere. The car has carpet added, but would have come from the factory with a rubber mat. The carpet is a good addition to the car and is very nice with no wear anywhere. The dash on the car is the worst part of the interior. There are some wear marks on the dash, but it is still very presentable. The car has had an AM/FM radio with CD player added tastefully in the glove box. The radio works great and is a good addition to the car in my opinion. If you don't like it you can definitely take it out without a problem. The tires on the car are near perfect. The car come with 2 sets of hubcaps. The trunk area on the car is in perfect shape. The undercarriage is also in very good condition. The car runs, drives, stops, and shifts like brand new. All of the gauges on the car work as they should. The heater on the car works excellent. The factory A/C is not currently hooked up. All of the components are there and I believe it could be working with little effort. The car is also a 12,500 miles car. The mileage is actual and listed on registration cards from Texas, a previous Maryland title, and the current clear PA title. This is an excellent car. It is an affordable way to get into a 1957 Chevy. The car can be shown or driven just for fun. My dad and I have been PA car dealers since 1989. We have an antique car business as a HOBBY, and this is not our full time job. We do it because it’s fun for us. I try to be as honest and accurate as I can when describing a car. I would rather a customer buy a car from me and it is nicer than they were expecting then vice versa. I try to include a variety of different pictures as well. If you’d like additional pictures of a specific area or any type of information please feel free to ask, and I will do my best to accommodate you. I will accept cash, certified bank check or wire transfer ONLY. Please understand that you are bidding to BUY a car, not to come take a look at it. If you would like to see the car please get in touch and we can make arrangements. Please understand that this is a 56 year old car. It is NOT perfect. I would rate it as an exceptional driver. Please feel free to contact me with any question (724) 771-5170. Thank you.
