Why we love our Chevrolets!!!!!

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. :hide:
Now the '55, THAT's a clean, gorgeous car, Ferrari grille and all! :thumbs: 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!") :rofl: |

I always found that odd. Today I'll bet there are at least a dozen '57 Chevys to every '57 Ford!

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

And the 50's era cars get better with each year that I age :D |

True, Ford outsold Chevy (by a small margin) in 57, but look which one went on to become an icon. When was the last time you saw a 57 Ford? You are right though 57's aren't everyone's cup of tea and I agree the 55 was a fantastic looking car.
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.

Used to ride around with my buddy in his half plexiglas Mercury, '54 I think. Baked ourselves in the summer time!

Matter of opinion, the '58's didn't look like a '57, a '59 doesn't look like a '58. They had year to year styling back in those days and each was unique. Not like today.
