buried car: doesnt look good

[tom406]

You can rightly criticize on the quality control and rust issues of '57 Plymouth/Dodge/Chryslers, but you can't honestly criticize the styling. "Suddenly it's 1960" and they made the mighty GM write off everything they planned, which made their bloated '58's a one-year only design, and gave a hurried green light to the wild '59's as they played catch up.

For the record, I love just about everything '57, but the top of my list would probably be a '57 Chrysler 300C convertible (assuming I found one without rust issues....)

Better watch your driveway, CHRISTINE'S gonna be coming to run your Plymouth-criticizing butt down....

I think '57 Plymouth hardtops are great looking cars. They typify the wonderful styling excesses of their era. Men wore narrow ties, smoked pipes, mom was at home, Beaver and Wally were clean-cut and obeyed their parents and teachers, Lockheed Super Constellations roared overhead coast-to-coast, sonic booms rattled our windows as USAF interceptors gaurded our skies against Commie intruders and cars had sweeping fins and ever-larger engines. There were bad things too but the '57 Plymouth wasn't one of them!
