Bad ***!!

Very cool car!! Love the stance! Shoulda upgraded the mc though...

Groovy ride. Not sure I would call something that big "Pro-touring". Especially with 4 wheel drum brakes.

Eh, you gotta leave something for the next guy.

I'm sure the guy that dates my exwife next will appreciate that one

Gorgeous!!
Personally, I think they're perfect in stock form...but this custom paint is wild. :cool:

I'll also commend the owner on not going with the obvious "Christine" paint scheme.

Hmm, thats only about an hour north of me. I'm just about $26,500 short, though. the wheels, shifter, stereo and speakers don't do it for me.

A car of that vintage needs CHROME!!!

I agree. Love the big finned cars and this is a nice one, but it needs it's chrome back.

I agree chrome bumpers. That IS cool, though.

Furious65 · Oct 18, 2012

I love the monochrome look. I plan on doing it to my '65 Sport Fury. As for the '57, most everyone drools over the '58 Plymouths (Christine) yet I love the 57's because they have less chrome.

Well i will be the one that says it.. I love the Christine look for these cars. With that said this car does nothing for me at all.. Looks like a primped up poodle..

Now if he would have done disk brakes and went ahead and put some 18/20's on it with air ride then the car would be setoff...

I'll go along with that. Just not diggin' the painted bumpers - too out of character for that car.

70DartMike · Oct 19, 2012

I definitly agree on the lack of chrome, however it's not very often you see these getting attention aside from bone stock, so it's good to see.

gtmopar · Oct 19, 2012

Not real big on the color. I know the reason they painted the chrome, anybody that has restored a car knows how much rechroming costs and I can bet the all of the chrome was shot. Those cars have a fair amount of chrome and I think to cheap out a bit they just sprayed it body color. If it was black with the chrome back it would be wicked. That body style needs the chrome to give it that pizazz and expensive look.
