The Car Build
In the second year of the CRC Build for the Future scholarship program, CRC is proud to sponsor a special build that will be auctioned to raise funding for trade school scholarships: the world’s first hydrogen-powered 1957 Chevy Bel Air to be auctioned to the public. The car will be unveiled at the 2024 SEMA Car Show in Las Vegas.
This beautifully restored vehicle, featuring a striking red and black interior, is powered by a hydrogen-fueled, Edelbrock-supercharged Gen3 HEMI engine, designed by Mike Copeland, CEO of Arrington Performance and retired GM engineer.
This hot rod proves that high performance and eco-friendly fuel can coexist without sacrificing the signature feel, sound, and horsepower of a traditional gasoline engine. Assembled by renowned racing legends Clay Millican and Jeff Lutz, this one-of-a-kind build also boasts a TCI automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes.
The 1957 Chevy Bel Air represents CRC’s commitment to driving innovation forward while honoring the past. It’s not just a car—it’s a glimpse into the future of high-performance vehicles.
