I have a good friend with a early 57 vin 16** black with beige cove... Believe to be original ?In all honesty this was too easy to add after some lucky new owner drove out of chevrolet lot after he or she requested a color to be added to there liking.......not really good unless you do have a vintage picture(in color!) like you stated, good luck.

Adam, is the interior beige, also? IIRC Noland's Vol. 1 mentions a possible beige/beige '57.

Did see a 57 solid black car FI at a auction here in Jersey quite a few years ago - it had a beige interior, which I thought really looked great. It did not meet the reserve, and last I saw it was being put on a trailer to go home ( it had Texas plates on it ).
