Cool Re: '57 Chevy Rochester Fuel Injection

Way back when, I lived in Temple City, Calif, and it was a quiet working stiff community but also there were a lot of car people around. We used to see an older gentleman driving a red 57 Bel Air sports sedan, that was the 4 door pillar less hardtop. This one was red, white top, and original right down to the hubcaps. The real draw was that both front fenders had large crossed flag emblems and the rare as could be Fuel Injection badges. It had the Powerglide trans in it, so it would have been the 283/250 horse motor. When discussing that car at work one day, a sales manager told us that several were built for salesmen's demonstrator cars. They were fairly decked out with options for back then and had lots of extra trim options.Seemed like over the years, a lot of car guys that I knew had seen that car running around, nobody had any luck trying to buy it. Hope somebody eventually got it and gave it a good home.
