Nice to see a 57 in such great shape. Yes the build quality of the 57s were atrocious but they did get better in 58 and by 59 they were very good. Unfortunately the build quality of the 57 to 59 all got tarred with the same brush. Any way the Dodge with D500 was one hot machine..
@cheddyrod That Forward Look really shook up the car industry design staffs. Build qualilty did suffer making these 57 - 59 Chrysler products all the more rare. The D500 surely made those that had it very hot indeed. Thanks for viewing and I'm glad you enjoyed this 57 Dodge.
Dodge and Plymouth did ok, not quite like GM in general, but held their own against Chevy and Fords family cars. But the biggest issue with the 57-59 cars were, the cars were notorious rusters. As good as these cars were in style, performance and engineering, very little attention was paid to rust proofing. Many of these cars quickly dissolved.
@itsmegp46 I know what you mean. They did rust badly and thats a shame. Quality control or lack of it could make or break a car. Chrysler products rusted and as you say, they dissolved. Thanks though for enjoying this apparent rust free Dodge.
@brians09challenger My uncle had a 57 Desoto Fireflite with this color combo and was a 4-door sedan. Mighty glad you enjoyed this. You have a great New Year also.
@itsmegp46 I know what you mean. You just don't see these in person anymore. Then again, Chrysler products didn't sell as well as GM or Ford products, so it's a treat to see something like this. Thanks so much for enjoying this Dodge.
Corvette which is visible in the background is amazing C3 :)
