No. Nothing. Twice made an inquiry of one advertised in a magazine I get, and got no response. Haven't moved on from looking. Just been busy with house projects since the weather improved, Carmine.

From a 57 Dealer Presentation Album I recently got. What would this car be worth now?

More if it didn't have that hideous continental kit hanging on the back, and not as much as a Bonneville convert.

I'm with you Poncho60 on Continental kits. I think they look awful hanging off the back of cars, by completely distorting the original designers handiwork.

Quite a treasure trove of goodies on this one!
Power everything with Air & windows in WI! Could be a deal https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto...916483020.html

Don't know if you are still looking or not. There's a decent one now on ebay (not completely original). Located in New Mexico.

Thank you for remembering my interest, but I gave up looking a while ago. I found a few I had an interest in, one in a Pontiac publication, tried making contact and wasn't successful. Never returned any of my messages. Almost like they either never had the car or didn't really want o sell it Too bad, because I really wanted one. Oh well. So, I moved on. Working on a '55 Chevy project. Thanks again, Carmine.

Even though you're working on a Chevy now I thought I'd pass these on, since it's unusual to find two '57 Star Chief four door cars listed on the local Craigslist at the same time.
A really nice one in white, $27,900:https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/a...990567122.html No price given, looks pretty good but needs some finishing, in a burgundy color that I don't think was stock: https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/a...988628024.html |

Thank you very much for remembering my interest. They are both very nice cars, but I favor the white one a little more. Wonder why no engine or driver compartment pics?? It's a shame, because one time I was very hot on buying a '57 Pontiac 4d ht. I found 2-3, but the owners were very slow in getting back to me. Actually, one never did. So, I gave up on them.
I should know later today, my status of purchasing a '55 Chevy. Nothing etched in stone yet. If that deal doesn't work out, I can see me pursuing some more interest and info on that white one. Thanks again, Carmine. |

The one in New Mexico I mentioned is white w red accents as well. Unless you have no interest in a car located that far away, you ought to take a look (EBAY). Currently no bids , listed for $18k. Just a suggestion. Regards.
