In September, 1956, Chevrolet introduced their new 1957 Chevy in three models: the 150; the mid-range two tone; and the upscale Bel Air. Many auto enthusiasts consider the ’57 Chevy an American icon. Detroit determined that winning in Nascar sold cars: win on Sunday, sale on Monday! Chevrolet’s Black Widow was a full fledged assault on their Nascar’s competitors. They came to win and they did, winning many races that year. Buck Baker won the Nascar Grand National Championship.
The 1957 Chevrolet automotive line had three different two door sedan versions available, the Bel Air, 210 and 150. The 150 Utility was the base model with back seat removed for extra storage space. The 150 Utility Sedan coupled with a new Ramjet fuel injection engine made a full race ready car commonly known as the "Black Widow" because of its black and white paint color. Optional 283 cubic inch V-8 engines with fuel injection or carburetor and automatic or manual transmission.
