It's a known fact that men love their cars. They would spend countless hours setting it up, cleaning it, making sure it runs smoothly and even giving it a name. There's countless theories and explanations that answer a male's fixation on cars, but it all sums down to a fact that we adore material things that make us "macho". You could say we're wired that way.
We all have that special car that we have a soft spot on, and for me it is a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air. Why? Because of the overall shape, the sharp back fins and the front grilles. It is an art form in itself. It is a definite icon of an Americana. When people think of diners, Saturday nights at a drive-thru movie and the American dream, you think of the 57 Chevy.
Now the following set of images are some great 57 Chevy pictures that will make any haters reconsider. Enjoy and click on the pic to for a detailed look.
