Here is my 1957 Chevrolet owned by Smokey Yunick and driven by Paul Goldsmith. This is not a bad model, the front seat backs tilt forward. Looks like this was a three on the tree as we used to call the manual column shifters.

The rear trunk strap has to be unhooked to open the trunk but the trunk will not stay open on its own.

Sadly when I received this one the fuel injection was not attached to the top of the intake and I had to reattach it.

Be careful with the front hood strap because when you unhook it to open the hood it will lays flat on the grill and blends in making hard to see and find.

This model is nice looking but I passed because it's really (at least by all accounts ) a replica of any one of the several 1:1 "tribute cars"  painted up like Smokey's 1957 Chevy. The 1957 black/gold Chevy that Smokey's actually raced at Daytona was a hardtop, not a 2-dr sedan.
