Nice car but are you sure that is not 61 years ago? If it were built 60 years ago it would be a 1958 model as the build year for 57s would have been over before September of 1957.

Wow, 57 Fuelie in black with red interior; what more can you say!

That looks like a C2 fuel injection model. Nice garage.

Congrats! I think Hemi is right - it's actually 61 years!

I, personally, stopped celebrating birthdays after my 39th...now I just have anniversaries of my 39th birthday. 60, 61 years...she's beautiful and I know your rightfully proud of her. Take her out for dinner

You’re right. It didn’t look right when I posted. That’s what I get for adding in my head.

It's a beauty no matter how old it is Hard to beat the appearance of a midyear fuel unit.
