Can you identify this car?

I am asking because I do not know. A high school classmate of mine posted a picture and this was her grandfather's car she doesn't know what it was. Any ideas?

1957 Chevy, what gave it away for me was the bump on the hood.

I knew you guys would know. I have seen it seems a million of them, but not pay much attention to them any more.

Just as the others...as soon as I saw that hood bump I knew what it was.

The three pod dash and steering wheel give it away to.

I've been building a Pro touring 57 for a client ..... going on three years now. Just delivered it to the fellow who is custom building the twin turbos and exhaust last week.
57 Belair on an Art Morrison chassis. Texas Speed 408 CID LQ4 engine and 4L80E modified trans. Ford 9" with Strange 3:50 third member.
Probably another year to completion.

Also the small side windows.

Thanks Mike.
Lots I haven't done. I'm envious of guys like Chris, who can create a masterpiece with a welder, some putty, sandpaper and a paint gun. Or my trimmer friend who can stitch material together to look exactly like an original piece. The guy who's doing the turbo's on this Chevy is a genius who can weld aluminum and stainless tubing to perfection.
I'm realizing my list of things to do and places to go is likely longer then the time I have to do them.
Can't let that stop me though.
