Groovy ride. Not sure I would call something that big "Pro-touring". Especially with 4 wheel drum brakes.
 
Very cool car!! Love the stance! Shoulda upgraded the mc though...

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.
 
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 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.
 
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.
 
Here's another beautiful one, a 57 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer D500 with lots of chrome. Original 325 Hemi car.
