    What kind of grille is that? I've seen another custom '57 with the same grille, wondering what it came out of..

    '53 Chevy teeth with the ends of the '57 grille bar. I had a similar set up in one of my cars some time ago.

    Teddyp will probably know what happened to the car, he lived in the area, and showed customs back then. He also, sadly, worked for a towing company, and in the 60's, actually towed a lot of the old customs to the crusher. He's got a lot of stories to tell!

    The article in the posted link, identifying this as a Corvette grille, is incorrect.
    (Not unusal in early magazines.) As others have said, these are '53 Chevy teeth.

    You're right, it IS one of the nicest '57's out there!

    Im gonna get crap for this, but I can do without the caddy tail lights. Who knows, maybe because its been used alot. I think it would look better without. Then again, if this car was built today, they might not have gone with them...
