The 11-foot-long, ravishing 1957 Chevy motorcycle created by French engineer “Lupo” is a complete masterpiece that had left motorcycle enthusiasts everywhere in awe. This standout Chevy bike presents some neat, distinctive features resembling the classic 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air. The gigantic tailfins strutting out the back, chrome rockets at the front, and vibrant exterior offer an offbeat yet highly aesthetic vibe. If you’re a Chevy fan, you’re bound to love this exciting mix between a car and a motorcycle.

The 1957 Chevy motorcycle is a spectacle to watch, but does it ride well too? The motorcycle’s builder, Lupo, from Toulouse, France explains that the motorcycle is “really safe and comfortable.” He spent 3,000 hours crafting this Harley bike specifically to pay tribute to the 1957 Chevy Bel Air. Lupo used a Harley Davidson EVO engine and built the rest of the bike himself. He plans to sell his creation during or after the SEMA.

The yellow 57 in the pictures below was built by Arlen Ness of Arlen Ness Motorcycles

Meet the classic 1949 Delahaye 175 S Saoutchik roadster built by Saoutchik for Concours circuit. The iconic 2-seat supercar was a sight to behold when it was first produced. Later it came under the possession of the English movie star Diana Dors.

What’s unique about the Delahaye was its contemporary beautification. You can see its wheels are almost hidden and its front has puzzling elements, which are completely contrary to our modern cars. The chrome was the name of the game during the time of its production, so it does feature this element at most places.

For almost four decades, the 1949 Delahaye 175 S Saoutchik roadster remained buried in a garage. In 2006, its owner made some efforts to source its main parts to rebuild it. Afterward, the car got its original engine and was presented for auction at Sports & Classics of Monterey with an approximated price of $4,000,000-$6,000,000 USD.
