No, this is not a real 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air. However it is a cool looking scaled down version of a 57 Bel Air. If you are a Chevy Fan, you will love this Harley bike.

The "Ness-Stalgic" was designed by Carl Brouhard in the mid 1990s. Believe it or not Carl began with a sketch on a pizza box that turned out to be a wild and extreme illustration.

The sketch looked just like the "Sweet, Smooth and Sassy" - "Hot One" built by American auto workers in 1957.

Carl new his sketch would interest the master of all Harleys, Arlen Ness. The handcrafted custom called the "Ness-Stalgia" made its first appearance at the 1995 Oakland Roadster Show and was a big hit with all in attendance.

Designed to equal the classic lines of the 1957 Chevy Bel Air, the "Ness-Stalgia" is nothing less than spectacular. Ron Covell hand crafted the aluminum skin wrapped around a Harley Softtail chassis. Check out the 57 fins, side trim and headlight buckets.
