Just reproduce the original but with disc brakes all around, bring back the 327 ( EFI ) with a Muncie M-22 or 4L60E.
No need to go any further.
There is no way a car from the ’50s would meet any of the DOT regs in force today. The bumper would never meet the 5mph standard, the hood ornaments are too dangerous to pedestrians, etc….
If you have a rusty 55-57 Chevy with a clean title send these guys a wad of cash https://realdealsteel.com/c-1105810-bodies-1955-57-chevy-bodies.html
and build your dream car. Some assembly required, battery not included.
There’s no way fat, UAW-owned GM would ever do something so creative as this. This is an AI generated fever-dream that will never see the light of day, sadly.
So far I’ve seen 3 other versions all claiming to be “official” 2025 Belaires, which tells me it’s all hype.
This AI generated imagery is getting out of hand.
Don’t worry, the situation won’t get any better… I’m certainly not looking forward to it.
Once the video got to the interior and I saw that stark steering wheel with no air-bag (required by law now), I knew this was a fake.
Not only the AI imagery, but that fake-ass narrator’s voice is annoying af.
Annd at the 5:11 mark, note that the driver’s side has dual exhaust, while the passenger side has to struggle along with only one.
Will sell 25 of them ?
Get a Ford.
Lies.
There is no way they will give us something we want.
Looks like a ‘57 to me
I went broke just watching the video.
No reason to change the original in any way. Just make ’em again and everyone will be happy. Need a reason? Remember how badly they ruined the retro Mustang – it looked great the first few years, then they designers didn’t have to pass a drug test and started trying to make it look futuristic.
A modernized 57 Belaire with a LT4 and 6 speed would sell like crazy for a couple of years. Then a modernized 72 C-10 stepside with the same drivetrain. Then a 75 Caddy Eldorado convertible, same drivetrain.
Off topic, but I thought CederQ might find it amusing/appalling:
Mainly for the Not Quite Human part, with the note that they treat 8 year olds and up.
Appalling is right, all of them need to be stretched by the neck and a sharp as hell bowie knife applied to just below the hyoid bone across the external carotid artery through to the internal jugular vein…
Too quick.
Pretty looking car. These things might sell like hot cakes if people can afford them. Projected pricing is in the $40-$60K range.
I had to laugh at the projected fuel efficiency which is listed as mid 20’s in the article I found which listed the specs with a 500HP blown fuel injected V8 under the hood? Yah NO.
“… pricing in the $40-$60K range.”
You priced anything new GM lately??
More AI BS! I am so sick of this.
I hate them goobers. I would LOVE to get a “modern” ’57, my dad had a ’55 wagon (265 V8), I used to race a ’55 two-door post (327), and I owned two ’57s (one was a two door 283 and the other was a 4 door 283).
Still love ’em today, can’t really afford to get one in any kind of decent shape. I guess I’ll stick with my ’89 3.0 liter Taurus SHO. It’s paid for.
