The Caddy, Olds, Buick, Chevy, Ford and Chrysler stuff all had classic style in 57. Much nicer than the somewhat dowdy early 50's and vastly better than the bloated garish later 50's stuff. I especially like the 56 and 57 Corvette's relatively clean and simple style much better than the overdone later models.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-11429304881555580622014-06-18T00:05:56.806-07:002014-06-18T00:05:56.806-07:00Finally a reason to use HDR.
