$500 is a great price. The most valuable ones are the convertibles, followed
by the 2-dr coupes (no center pillar between the side windows), then the
2-dr sedans, then the 4-dr sedan. Probably of least value is the 4-dr wagon.
The 2-dr Nomad wagons are highly desireable, might be right up there with
the convertibles. Of most value are the Bel Air's with V-8's, least value
are the 6-cylinders. Nowadays, any '57 Chevy is sought after.
Back in 1970 to 1974 I owned a 2-dr coupe with a 327ci V8, headers, Muncie
4spd and posi rear. Really miss it. That car got more looks than any other
car I had.
