I found this posted on the MonteSS web site.
(I think I need to own at least one. Of each)


Nascar Helps the 57 celebrates 50 years old

Chevy unveils paint schemes to commemorate 50 Years of the '57 Chevy: One of the most recognizable cars in American motoring history reaches a notable milestone this year, a milestone which NASCAR, Chevy and Motorsports Authentics proudly celebrate. The 1957 Chevrolet, a car which turns 50 years old this year, will be commemorated at August 19’s 3M Performance 400 Nextel Cup race at Michigan International Speedway by at least 11 Team Chevy drivers. Unveiled by Jimmie Johnson at MIS today, a Monte Carlo SS race car featuring decals with cues from the iconic 1957 design is similar to the ones Johnson and other Team Chevy drivers will race during the August event. On August 18, ’57 Chevys along with many other historic vehicles will hit the streets during Metro Detroit’s Woodward Dream Cruise. That same weekend, Team Chevy Nextel Cup Series drivers #4-Ward Burton, #8-Dale Earnhardt, Jr., #24-Jeff Gordon, #48-Jimmie Johnson, #14-Sterling Marlin, #01-Mark Martin, #15-Paul Menard, #96-Tony Raines, #1-Martin Truex, Jr., #78-Kenny Wallace and #18-J.J. Yeley will take to the track at MIS with their cars wearing special ’57 Chevy paint schemes. To commemorate this special event, Motorsports Authentics will replicate their cars with die-cast models and offer apparel and novelty items related to the event.

That is way cool.. I think if they did a real re-make of that car, like the new camaros coming out they would be a big hit.

I hope that I'm able to find one or two in the die cast isle at Wal-Mart before they're all bought up by the dealers.

Anyone seen the '57 Chevy" body kit for Camaros? Isaw one at Goodguys a couple weeks ago. Talk About Stupid!!!!!

I saw a Suburban with 'ghost' 57 Belair fins and decor painted into the side of it. Interesting, to say the least.

There was a Rambler station wagon at Columbus Goodguys with '57 Chevy trim painted on the sides.
