Beautiful cars! I've owned a number of those and wish it were possible to still build cars with style and character. Today's cars certainly have the performance but with few exceptions, they all look the same.

Gawd, those baby-Cadillac '57 Chevys ar UGGG-LY! No wonder Ford outsold 'em that year. 
Now the '55, THAT's a clean, gorgeous car, Ferrari grille and all!
How 'bout those one-year only radiused rear wheel openings on the first Nomad?
(I can save all you five-seven fans the trouble, "Opinions are like a**holes, everybody's got one!")

Maybe in some people's opinion, but I'd own a couple of them in a heartbeat!!! I always thought they were cool.

The '56 Crown Victoria (with or without the 5th wheel) is one of the most strikingly designed cars ever created - true automotive art

But AIR the SBC got an oil filter, duals and more cubic inches that made it a performance winner by '57, and that's something people remember, keeping resale values climbing to this day. And '57 Chevys ARE better-looking than the '58s, okay?

'57 Fords are still prettier IMO. But don't forget that Plymouth blew the low-priced three category wide open with its radical, inches-lower styling and torsion-bar handling that led to purchases by sports car enthusiasts that needed room for the family. Quality issues pushed the "Suddenly, it's 1960!" Mopars aside within a couple of years.
