This thread is dedicated to a 1957 Fuel injected ragtop. 1 of 68 built out of approximately 1,600,000 57 chevys. The only known original Fuelie in Dusk pearl. Survivor in every sense of the word. This is an as found photo I stumbled upon 4 years or so ago 4 miles from my house !! . Last oil change sticker was 1962,only a few more miles on car since then.

----Chuck,,, To bad Joe Hrudka (Mr.Gasket) isn't still collecting 57 fuelies as he for sure would have that in his garage now. So cool
I'm not sure where it is today but back around 2000 or so one of our Classic Motors buyers from Kentucky had a 57 2-door wagon 283/283 with less than 4000 miles on it. We never could make a deal on it but had it on the arm for a while earlier. He had it all the way back in 1978 when I was working in Hinsdale at Jack Ds. That's when I met Al Maynard for the 1st time as he came into town to look at it. He never could swallow the price either......Bill S

I have seen this car in person, and it took my breath away with its originality. Pictures don't do it justice!
