1957 Chevy 150 Sedan

Wallpaper Description:

From the first time he saw a ’57 Chevy in one of his dad’s car magazines when he was about 12 years old, John Meyers has been infatuated with the finned Chevy. When he saw PHR’s own Project X in Hollywood Knights, that really sent him over the edge and he vowed to have one. It took another 12 years before the right ad for a fairly rare ’57 150 sedan appeared. When the 98,000-mile Chevy arrived on a truck at 8 p.m. one night, John was a little nervous, but the driver assured him: “You got a really nice one here!” On his buddy’s lift the next day, John confirmed the car not only had a perfect body, but was better in every way than he expected. His buddy was unimpressed though. “Just wait until it’s done,” John said. It took two years of hard work, but now the TPI 350 and 700-R4–equipped ’57 is literally a traffic stopper. While sitting at a stop light one day, a teenage girl jumped out of a van in the next lane, ran to the front of the ’57 and started snapping photos. Luckily the same doubting buddy was in the passenger seat. Blown away, he asked, “Does that happen a lot?” Of course, John responded, “All the time!”
