In the mid-1950s, Chevy introduced its new overhead-valve V-8 engine, commonly referred to as the "small-block" Chevy. These 55-57 equipped cars have come to be known as "Tri-Chevys". The 1957 is the most popular of them all. The Bel Air version was the top-of-the-line model with added features and trim that set it apart. The rear stabilizers were a styling trend that celebrated the jet age. The 1:25 scale model car is a Revell skill level 3 plastic model kit recommended for ages 10 years old and up.
