I'm partial to '57s as well.

The 2 best sellers were the Chevy and Ford and funny how both companies blew it for 58

sorry, not a '57, this is a '58 Rambler

 

Me too!

The Buick wagon with Art Deco plates is stunning. What a great design.

 

Often I am of that mind as well. I also really like the '57 Coupe De Ville. They really got the Cadillac right that year.

Some good choices in '57 if you liked them furrin cars too...

 

the 57 Fords are rare because guys like me used them for dirt track racing. they made great race cars.we beat a lot of the fabled :tri-five" chevys with a 292 or 312. most fun I ever had(with my clothes on)!
