How different are the 1957 Chevy 150 Black Widow and the Bel Air?

Answer 1

The Chevy 150 Black Widow were race cars that were totally different from the Bel Air. They started as the base Chevy 150 2 door sedans that were highly modified for racing. The 150 was basically a stripped down fleet car that was rarely sold to the public. The cars were not factory built race cars but Chevrolet did give out detailed instructions on what modifications were to be made and how to make them. Things like reinforcing the frame, and using a fuel injected 283 V8. The BelAir on the other hand was the top of the line Chevy in 1957. With lots of chrome and almost every option.
