Your impeccable luck with finding and then with little effort make run again is just crazy. I am happy for you and hope you do the right thing on fixing the rust issues.... or someone who buys it will.

Would love to see it back to blue

That is my favourite car. I was 15 when it was built. I’m 81 now. I loved hearing it start. Beautiful. I hope you can get it back to the original colour of blue

Alexander you're the Fairy Godfather of rescued vintage vehicles and I'm looking forward to see what your magic wand will turn this in to.

Alex, we love seeing your kids work along side you! You have good kids. ❤

How exciting to rescue this classic!

In 1956 our neighbor bought a brand new 56 Chevrolet. I was 8yrs. old and have wanted one of them ever since. In Seattle, 1980 we saw a 1957 chevy convertible for sale on a used car lot that sold old chevy's. It was a beautiful robin's egg blue and was selling for $13,000. Can't imagine what it would be going for today.

Watching Alex cleaning up the car was somehow fairly satisfying.

Well Alex, this 61 year old Nana really enjoyed this video lol. Hey, I enjoy all your videos, but I found this one really special and I love it when you take these old, beautiful classics, and return them to their former glory. I would’ve been afraid that many people would’ve scrapped the car and sold it for parts to people trying to replace pieces for their car like this. But you took this piece of rusted Mossey mouse infested hunk of metal and in two days you got other people dreaming of it. I can’t wait to see future updates of you restoring this beautiful beautiful classic❤

Love this car. Can’t wait to see it restored ❤

I'm sure the neighbors of the previous owners are super happy that you bought that mossy old eyesore, Alex. Great work getting it running so quickly!

What a reservoir of knowledge dad has, the children are very fortunate to have his input and drive.

looks amazing going to be interesting to see what you do with it ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My neighbor had one of these cars in the 50s. He kept it shiny as a new penny. I hope you restore the blue color….thanks for great video.

Love this video! I was born in 1957 and you are right about how desirable this car has always been! I wanted one and couldn’t find one I could afford. I hate these computerized cars with sensors that have to be replaced are more trouble than just taking care of the car,and checking for problems would be! Love the videos!

Thank you for sharing. This has to be one of my favorites videos! A true diamond in the rough so exciting to hear it stat right up😊🎉.

Alex...you have instincts about old cars...the car whisperer! Amazing somebody didn't buy that car earlier...waiting to see how the restoration continues.

Hearing that engine come alive made me smile! I do love seeing you take an old forgotten or discarded car and giving it life again. Can't wait to watch the restoration series.

I really really want to see you fix this one up !! I’ve seen what you can do on the other ones ! I would love to see you get the dents repaired & rust replaced with metal !! It would look great that teal color or black . Can’t wait , I love these cars 😊👍

I’ve really got to tell my dad about Alex’s channel. He’s love all these neat old cars.

That was awesome thanks for sharing this with us

Oh the memories! I love seeing it brought back to life! Cant wait to see the journey!

Old cars are so cool, the story behind the cars eliminate your purchase worries because it draws you in as a buyer . The cleanup is crazy satisfying to watch , imagine how many days outside the survivor has gone through be in your care is insane .

Looks like a winner. Good job Alex. You have a good eye for possibiilties. Waiting to see what you make of this classic.

Great buy Alex.... can't wait to see it done.❤❤❤

That’s a great project!! ‘57 Chevy, the American (and Canadian!!) classic. It will be fun to follow your progress. Keeping it original? 😊

I'm anxious to see this 57 running. If anybody can breathe life back into it, it's you.

Wow, Alex you sure have a “good eye”. Leaving your name and number for whatever tickles your Canadian fancy is a good idea. Hour and a half EARLY tow trucks is unheard of here in the USA. I appreciate your work ethics and the fact that your sons are willing to help you with restoration and short efforts you took to fix the damage panels.

i am pretty sure this is the best 50s car to own because all the parts to fix rust and issues and what ever else are available.

Hello Alex how are you and your family, hope you guys are doing well. Love watching your videos all the time 👍💙💜💚❤️💖🦋🌈🌺🙏🏻from Edith in cairns Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

So funny seeing the squirrel!! Never a dull moment on your channel!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Oh lordy, a 57 Chevy! Covet, covet, covet! Having learned to drive in an "on the column" car, I could even drive it! I even remember splashing gas in the carburetor. Those tires sure look like snow tires!

Good luck with your new project. 🍀 It’s gonna be a beauty ❤️

Try the lugs that have the shaft "collars" on the back that are used by a number of the aftermarket wheels as adapters. Those could possibly work for you. The '57 looks nice. I'm kind of spoiled with rust-free, being in Arizona. (Now if I could only afford them!) Keep up the great work! EDIT- I put this up before I could finish watching. Nice of him to bring you the right lugs!

Great find! I love classic Chevy's! Amazing it started!! Looking forward to seeing it all finished.

The original Blue color is gorgeous 😍

Alex my darling. WOW, I can’t believe you brought it back to life. You are a master car restorer. Who ever ends up with the car is one lucky person. I know after you finish with it. The car will be a eye catcher. Congratulations, until next time. Take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🕊🌈😇🌹👍🙏🌞🇺🇸❤️

I’m looking forward to following this car. You go Alex😃👍

It really is a cool looking car. And just a couple days of Alexander know-how and it's running! Would love to see it in it's original color. What a great one-owner find!

Very enjoyable! I started collecting at 12 I guess. Lots of good parts. Looking forward to watching it evolve.

What a cool find. I've really missed your car videos so I can't wait to see this one come together!

That was a great sound when it turned over!

OMG I love this project and to think I was a car content complainer ❤😂 I am 75 years old and you have no idea how appreciated I am for this restoration.😊

Woo hoo, it's a runner! With all of those spare parts, it's like a life size model car kit. I think that it would be very pretty in the original Robin's Egg Blue with a White roof, trunk and upper quarter panel. I'll bet that quarter panel moulding will straighten out. All in all, seems like a good purchase. Congrats!

I love it!!! It sounds sweet can't wait to see the first ride!! ❤❤ Thank you for sharing.

I can never pass by a '57 Chevy without stopping to get a photo. Excited to see what comes next with this one.

The best 50's car ever made!! 20 years old and that's my dream car!

She’s alive! Awesome!

Wow! Sat for 40 years and it starts! Impressive. Nice job pushing out the dents Alex.

Sweet ride Alex!! I can't wait to see it back cruising the streets like it should be.

What an awesome 57! I'm excited to see how it turns out! Thanks, Alex! 🎇💚☀️💜🌈💕

Everyone needs a 57' chevy in their life. It would be soo freaky if you started it and the radio came on with 50's music. LOL :) :)

What wonderful memories this brought back for me. First 3 speed on the column I learned to drive in 1973. Thank you for your wonderful adventures you share

Oh man this was a awesome video!! Love that car and I can't wait to see more!! I hope you decide to do some more work to it I'd love to see that. Great work Alex!! ❤

To paraphrase Dr. Frankenstein, "It LIVES "!Great start to a classic revival. Please go back to the original blue.

I was born in 1953, but this car was still very popular and plentiful when I was in my teens & 20's. It's still very desirable here in Tennessee!

The squirrel being in the car was so funny. I was going to comment that at least it's not full of squirrels or raccoons.

Thanks for taking us on this journey with you! So exciting. So interesting. That pressure washer is the bomb!

That's a Chevy 6 cylinder for ya! Start right up after sitting for 40 years! Great video. Thanks.

It does look better without the moss but you do have a challenge there. But I know you enjoy doing these projects. Happy for you that it started. Now to clean out the gas tank? Etc.? It is a popular car, indeed.❤️👍

I can't believe I am sitting here with a smile in my face watching this video! I am definitely not, nor have I ever been a car crazy girl, but I can't wait to see this car's transformation. I am sure the reason for my interest is because it takes me back to the late 60s watching my dad work on his 57 Chevy in our driveway. He loved that car. Fond memories, indeed. Good luck, and have fun!

Alex , watching this video was pure joy! What a cool car! 👏👏👏

Nice find and very restorable. Glad you could get it running so easy after all the time it sat. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Hope you got a good deal on it.

Another awesome car saved by you 👍👍👍👍😁

i do like much when you buy a classic , i am a fan of these ...

She's a beauty and purrs ! Engine likely rebuilt. Get some fresh gas ,oil & filter and go cruisin' . Well maybe a few other things 😉

Awesome find!!!! She sounds great too!!!! I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing and have a great evening!

I cannot wait to see this completely done!!! Go Alex Go!!! You are AMAZING!!!!

So glad you saved it !

What an awesome deal you got the classic Chevy ,, quite a neat hobby for you to be fixing up ,,I sure hope it will start and run ,,glad you rescued it ,, enjoy

Great find on this 57 and the extra parts help fixing it up. You'll have it on the road soon. / T

This is a classic worth restoring!!! Match the original paint?

Great to see you rescue an “eyesore” and make it somewhat more attractive again!

Wow a gem 💎 Diamond in the rough.❤😊

My uncle worked at Steakley bros Chevy in Tx from the 50s til late 80s. My cousin had a slew of unbelievable used cars including a 2 dr. 57' just like that one in factory gold w/ gold and brown interior. He had this car in the 70s for a few months. lt had the 6 cyl as well. l drove it w/ less than 20k miles on it and it felt brand new. True garage kept one owner grandma's car. The interior was like new. l cherish the times l got to ride and drive in the 50s and 60s cars when they were low miles like new still in the 70s now when l see these videos. One of the perks of being old. l also live in the house l grew up in and was burying a dead cat recently where my sandbox was in the 60s and found my redline dodge charger hot wheels from then and l thought about curiosity inc.

You make it look so easy. ✨🚗✨

LOOK, no bar codes on any of those parts for that car. Long before bar codes came out. Way cool. Good luck with all of it.

Oooooohh she purrs like a kitten. Can’t wait to see the restoration of this old girl 😉

I wish we could go back to cars with no computerized stuff !!! It's now almost like con. You have no choice but to buy one. And the cost is unreal. I'm 65 now and I haven't had a car now for about 7 yrs. Can't afford the repairs on one these days. My dad always worked on all of our cars and he taught us the basics. When your only income is SSI it makes it rather tough to afford a decent car. If I had a older one I could at least work on it myself or get some help from friends. But now it's busses for me I guess. Absolutally love what you do AND love the fact your entire family gets involved also. Way to go my friend and your doing great things too.

I love the original blue color.

I have my own 1957 chevy Belair absolutely love it❤

When I was little my parents had a 1956 Chevy station wagon with (if my memory hasn't gone ka-blooey) the same paint color. It stopped being our family car in 1965 and until the mid 1980s was my dad's work car, stuffed full of tools. It too was "3 on the tree." I drove it exactly once, in the mid 1970s, when I barely knew how to drive stick. I stalled several times on the way home. I also remember marveling at how much empty space it had under the hood compared to more modern cars.

Very pleased to see how interesting your Chevrolet appears after some effort.Hope you'll make a real beauty out of it.Keep well.Thomas from France.

Great new project car!

Really enjoyed this one. Thanks. Loved the Arkansas connection. That's where I am😊

Will it start ? Yes. Fun video. Thanks for taking g us along.

WTG!Glad you got it Running!🌴😎♥️♥️♥️Mary in Florida not David B. My I Pad Now! From my older Daughter! 😁😉😎🌴🌴🌴♥️😉

What did I tell you about the pool house garage Alex? LOL 🤣 I bet Melissa is thrilled right about now. 🤭 It'll be beautiful once you get it all redone. ❤❤❤❤❤ Another Great Buy. 👍👍 May God Bless you & ALL of your loved ones ALWAYS. ✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️

Nice job Alex, love it when a plan comes together !

All the best as you work on a classic.

A '57 Chevy Belair is my dream car. I prefer the trim with the V insert on the rear quarter panel, and a 4-door, since that's more practical for me. So instead of having a real 57 Chevy, I have little replica models displayed on my book shelf. 😊 I was so happy when this baby actually cranked and started. I started clapping with joy! It looks great after the cleanup and pulling out the dents! In 1984 when it was parked, I was still living in Drayton Valley, AB (Nashville TN now), and my mother had a green '55 Chevy which was the daily driver.

Incredible Alex. Very 😎 Cool.

This is a great find. The possibilities are endless to make this a real class ride.

Whadda cool car! Re the squirrel(s) if you have a vintage boom box (i remember at least one from a precious vid), put that in the trunk with the volume and bass all the way up-no more critters! Lolz 😂

You have the magic touch with the automobile. Great to see the love you have for classics.

The car has been saying “Come, take me away and I will give you the treasures to bring me back to life.” Looking forward to seeing the next steps. 😂❤❤

My Ma had a Pink 57 Chevy when I was a kid. Fun!

I am watching a lot of this type of clips and this guy is the first to clean the car before working ..

They don't build them like they used to! Have fun.

You guys are so lucky, here in Australia we have nothing like the old cars that are in need of saving.
