I have to admit a personal bias: I love ’57 Chevys. On Saturday, I was featuring hunting when I came across a little car show going on about two blocks from the newsroom. Walking through the cars, I immediately gravitated to a gorgeous 1957 Chevy Bel Air. After about 30 or so frames from this angle, I struck up a conversation with the owner about his car. I grew up around and inside ’57 Chevys. My dad owns one that he drives to car conventions every summer. Before moving to Cheyenne in January, the only time I had seen the city was from the backseat of my dad’s Bel Air as we drove to Reno, Nevada from Indiana.

Warm weather with no wind drew several cars and curious spectators. Advertisements in 1957 dubbed the car "sweet, smooth and sassy."](https://www.brosher.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/20110507-CarShow0052-jb.jpg)
