Shop the Bel Air Shop the One-FiftyFew shapes say “classic American automobile” as clearly as a 1957 Chevrolet. For collectors searching for a 1957 Chevy 1:64 diecast model, these two new IXO releases make the choice especially interesting: one celebrates showroom elegance, while the other brings a low, custom-built attitude.
Below, we compare the IXO IA64021 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sedan and the IXO IA64022 1957 Chevrolet One-Fifty Lowered so you can choose the best model for your collection—or decide why the pair belongs together.
Collector’s quick take: Choose the Bel Air for a refined factory-classic display. Choose the lowered One-Fifty for contrast, customization, and a stronger street-machine look. Display them together to tell a richer 1957 Chevrolet story.

Shared Details Collectors Will Appreciate
Despite their different personalities, both IXO Chevrolet models share a strong set of collector-friendly specifications:
Which 1957 Chevy Diecast Should You Buy?
Buy the Harbor Blue Bel Air if your collection leans toward showroom-fresh American classics, color-coordinated interiors, or Chevrolet’s most recognizable 1950s styling. The metallic blue and chrome combination offers a clean focal point without overpowering nearby models.
Buy the lowered One-Fifty if you prefer custom builds, contrasting paint, and models with an unmistakable street presence. The lower stance and cream-over-black palette make it look especially good beside muscle cars, hot rods, and vintage cruisers.
Buy both if your display tells stories. Placed side by side, they show how the same model year can move from elegant factory-style presentation to personalized custom culture. That contrast makes a two-car arrangement more engaging than either model alone.
Display idea: build a miniature 1957 cruise night
Place the Bel Air near a diner-style backdrop and position the lowered One-Fifty slightly forward, as if it has just rolled into the meet. Add warm street lighting or a simple black display base to bring out the chrome and two-tone finishes.
Why These IXO 1:64 Models Work in a Collection
At 1:64 scale, both cars are compact enough for a growing display but detailed enough to reward a closer look. Their matching manufacturer, model year, scale, and approximate length make them natural companions. At the same time, their finishes and stance are different enough that each earns its own place.
