The "Black Widow" was a plain 1957 150 utility sedan model with the biggest V8 and fuel injection. Painted black with the area behind the rear window and above the fender trim painted white. They came with no back seat, radio, or heater to make them lighter for racing. This one is a 150 too, probably with way more horsepower than available in 1957. Also, a stock 150 wouldn't have had the Bel Air "Dagmars" in the front. Dagmar was a Swedish, well endowned TV star in the '50s the bumper extensions will always keep her name out there.
I mentioned before that I learned to drive on a 1957 Chevy, a 210 station wagon, and always have a fondness for them.
You've certainly gotten to see a lot of vintage classic cars! I'm trying not to be jealous! But thanks anyway for the pics!
I love those years of Chevy cars. I bought a 51 and loved it. My wife bought a new Chevy in part because of happy memories riding in my Chevy.
Beautiful...
I wonder how fast it can go? Of course the people driving them may not want to try driving fast for fear of a dent or scratch.
@mcbery - he's a judge so he won't have to worry about a ticket.
@quest4god@revelife - you don't see many classics here so they really stand out. This is the judge who lives down the street and he didn't come out but I was talking to his wife.
@Ricardo98 - u know a lot about it. I just talked to the wife.
I like it!
Nice Ride!!!! and now I know who Dagmar was...@Ricardo98 -

I can imagine that it made an impact - those things weighed a ton being all steel construction!
@murisopsis - yes, I guess so.
