No one built an ugly car in 1957.

Sadly, it was all down hill from there.

I've never been a fan of the big rear fin era except for a 57 desoto 2 Dr hardtop. Those are amazing cars

There used to be a museum called "57 heaven" that had nothing but 1957 cars/trucks in it. I think the owner auctioned everything off a few years ago and it's no longer around, but there was all sorts of cool cars/wagons/etc there.

Would have loved to have gone to that. I think 1957 and 1969 are the 2 best years for cars in history.

I have a 57 Coupe Deville sitting under my car port right now.

I don't know about that. There were some great cars built in the '60s and early '70s, and today's stuff is pretty good too. I will say though, the late '50s styling is by far my favorite.

I used to have a '57 DeSoto Firedome coupe. It was "not" amazing, besides the sheer amount of rust it had. Shame too, it was a gorgeous car in its prime.

I can roll with that.

My dad's boss bought five or six of those cars. I still have the auction sticker from the white/gold Adventurer coupe.

I didn't have photos of the Studebaker wagon, the Cadillac Series 62, or the Nomad, but you can kinda see them in the background. Those were some excellent cars.

It has roof damage, right? How is it coming along??

Talk about a flintstone mobile. I haven't seen anything from '64 I didn't like

I think you might be on to something.

Yep. I have been so busy with my car lot that I haven't been able to do much. Finally able to do some work on it. It's driveable now at least. I am trying to find someone that can fix the roof on it.

Good times.

God damn, no wonder my neighbors hate me.

Eric was there? That would do it.
