1957 Chevrolet Bel Air – Ride Along
Car nut Bob Whitter from Yulee, Fla., has been enjoying and collecting cars for about 40 years, so when his close friend wanted to restore and upgrade his 1957 Chevrolet using 21st century technology, he was more than happy to assist. “He was more of a brother than a friend,” Whitter said. “He fought cancer for many years.” The car was completely restored inside and out, and no expense was spared with a brand new crate motor, suspension, vintage air, cruise control, power steering and power brakes. But the most important request? That his grandson gets the car, and Whitter agreed to make that happen. What did you think?

Wonderful story and you are definitely to be commended to making the Grandfather’s wish come true. It was a
beautiful car and I am sure the Grandson was more than happy to receive it.

What a beautiful story, thank you for sharing. They were the Rolls Royce cars in their day and what a magnificent ride you got, so smooth and comfortable and handled like a dream. What I wouldn’t give to have another ride in one, they were just magnificent. Such a shame they don’t make cars like that today. The Grandson is one very lucky young man which I am sure he is aware of. Thank you for the beautiful memories. God Bless.
