[QUOTE=dakota tom;182476]I was reading a magazine tonight and there was a 1957 Chevy 4 door sedan in it. Factory original 245 hp 283 dual quad engine. Dealer order mistake in North Dakota now in Wisconson. 65,000 mile survivor.

When I was in high school in the late 60's-early 70's. there was an older man in Temple City,Calif. where I grew up,that had a red with white top 57 Chevy Bel Air 4 dr.sport sedan(no post), 283, factory fuel injection badges on both front fenders,with a Powerglide trans. I saw the car fairly frequently at one point in time, so did a lot of car guys,(we had the license plate memorized-JUU 022,black with yellow lettering Cal plate), the word was that as the FI gave him trouble, it came off and a carb and conventional intake went on. Don't know what happened to the car, somebody probably got it, it was stock as a rock right down to the hub caps.
