Car models and colors do have renaissance and reincarnation. As a fact, recently a media outfit has found a 1957 Chevy in its original hues.

KansasCity.com has found the reincarnation of the ’57 Chevy in its refreshing turquoise and white hues. Let’s pore over the details…

Owner: Wayne Aue
Profession: Retired
Vehicle: 1957 Chevrolet, 210 4-door hardtop

Here’s an excerpt from the media outfit’s interview with Wayne:

Q: Why is your car special?

A: It was made in California and all California Chevys had a one-piece front bumper. There were only 16,000 California ’57 Chevy 210 4-door hardtops made.

Q: What was your greatest challenge?

A: The biggest challenge was changing the motor from a six-cylinder to an eight-cylinder.

Q: How long have you owned it?

A: I’ve owned it for over 40 years. I purchased it from a business owner in Mission.

Q: Are there other cars you’d like to own?

A: At this point in my life, this car is the ideal driver for my wife and me. However, we previously owned a 1934 Chevrolet Sedan, an all-steel-body car we named “Blossom.” We sold it a number of years ago, and out of all the old cars I have owned, I do wish I had Blossom back. I also owned a 1927 Ford Roadster, all steel, and after selling Blossom, I had a 1934 Chevy Coupe. I bought the ’27 Ford Roadster from the same person who sold me my ’57 Chevy.

This roadster was disassembled in a cardboard box. Again, I assembled the entire car and had it professionally painted.

The 1934 Chevy Coupe I bought as an all-fiberglass body and assembled that car, as well, and had it professionally painted.

Q: Anything more about your ’57 Chevy?

A: It’s now Chevy turquoise and white, but was professionally painted this year after being painted black for many years.

Q: Do you belong to a car club?

A: We are members of Interstate Street Rods Car Club and have been since 1987. We go to many car shows and cruise nights and have many plaques and trophies earned from these shows.

Despite overwhelming auto options, Wayne wants to keep his old road ally. Good thing car buffs know their thing!

It’s nice to see old cars functioning efficiently as modern cars thanks to the cutting-edge technology. Now the thing of the past may be brought to the present… or perhaps pushed a little further to the future…
