    RED 57 two-ten hardtop for the GOLD! Johnny
    In case anyone wonders why I regularly point these cars out is it's because I really don't think people understand they are somewhat special, being a non-BelAir and all.
    I know that for the longest time after I had my BelAir I didn't know these cars existed.

    It’s not a case of which model is better. I’m going by the build in this case.

    On that note. My nephew has a 57 210 hardtop.

    Sorry guys, I know, that was in bad taste!
    The 56 Chevy has been a bit of a "step child" in some peoples' eyes, hell, the car that I and all my high school cl***mates idolized was a 56 sedan (I've mentioned it prior).

    Tell that’s not air brushed exhaust on the rocker panel? It’s too clean other wise.

    I just can't give a like to a car with those damn 10 spoke wheels on the front!

    those awful wheels are one of the biggest frauds perpetrated on the traditional car hobby in a very long time

    If I had a 1957 210, I’d get rid of the top sweep of the side trim and just have that long contiguous one going the length of the car. Same thing goes if I had a Bel Air, can’t stand the aluminum siding they put on those cars.

    If I remember correctly, that red 57 210 hardtop was built by Woody's Hot Rod's, from a brand new shell, so it's really not that special, no matter how it's trimmed out.

    Yep, appears to be true, though they don't really say much about the two-ten trim level.
    A bit odd to me when most everyone would expect a BelAir but credit to them for keeping these cars in circulation.
    Curious how many original two-ten hardtops that might have been retrimmed as BelAirs.
    I worked with a guy who's son put BelAir trim on his 57 Sedan Delivery, nice, fresh car but bright yellow, he was real proud I'm sure when he showed it to me but I had to bite my lip and not share my "point of view".
    I lusted after an original 150 wagon that was near me around 1970 while in high school. Like this one but light yellow and white.

    Good on ya' DDDenny... I'm another defender of the 210HT's - '55, '56 and '57. Funny enough I can point out three youtube personalities that have gotten '57 210 HT's in the past couple of years and have been quick to put Belair features on them instead of celebrating their uniqueness and comparative rarity as 210 HT's. Oh well... Good to know I'm not alone...

    The faded green 57 that had an attached link. The link I believe was the cause for deletion.
