I'm sure there are clubs you could explore for info on the 57. My brother-in-law bought one off the show room floor in 57, had the 1st one around.

Did some research last night found out the car is a 57 Belvedere Club Sedan. It has a 318 poly in it. I didn't realize how much performance parts there are for this thing. I am going to try and get her started today. anybody have any resources for trim pieces or aftermarket carpet kits that kind of stuff. The car is really complete but does need a d
few things. Some ding bat put a edelbrock carb on it ,wish i could find an original 2bl for it.

Yes i am trying to restore back to original. I did manage to get outside power washed my steam cleaner had a clogged pump which took alot of time to fix. Hoping to get her fired tommorrow. I want to de-code car to find original options. It does have 3sp torqueflight.The car is leaning to passenger side alittle, not sure if rear air shock is bad or torsion bar has a problem. #3 on list of things to look at. I really appreciate all your guys help. Can't wait to take her to church!
