a couple 57's
Someday I will own a 57 Starchief Vert.
Here are a couple. The blue one belonged to a lady that did windshield engraving. You can see my Ivory and green 4 dr in the background. Sold in 1984 The White and Red vert was in Chicago. My dad saw the add in Hemmings so we drove up to look at it. The owner was not home but his daughter opened the garage so we could take one photo. Do not know what happened to the car. http://i769.photobucket.com/albums/x...wj/6622010.jpg http://i769.photobucket.com/albums/x...wj/6622009.jpg http://i769.photobucket.com/albums/x...wj/6622011.jpg |
Sweet! I love these old pics, keep them coming

I think the 57's were the most beutiful fifty's cars in the GM line up 55's come close but the 57 Pontiac was and still is IT!

Go my license in one. Brother had one at the time and while parents still had theirs I bought one. Brother had upgraded to a '62 Olds.
Sure miss the one I had and the one the parents had. Mine and Dad's were Chieftians and brothers was a Star Chief. Wonder where......... |
The '57s were beautiful as were the '55s and then the '56s. The '58s don't really do it for me but I love how ridiculous the '59s are.

The One that started it all.
The white with blue stripe 57 was moms favorite call. Its demise came when a garbage truck ran a red light and totalled it. I was 1 and my brother was 3. All ok. The impact knocked mom through the intersection and took out a Red fastback mustang. Either a 65 or 66.
The black with pink stripe. Mom hated that car. I will have to ask dad but I think it was traded in on the 69 GTO that we still have. http://i769.photobucket.com/albums/x...wj/6622017.jpg http://i769.photobucket.com/albums/x...wj/6622018.jpg |

Where is the best place to get some of the exterior mouldings for 57's???
I'm fixing one up down under. They are a sexy looking machine. So much nicer than a Chebby. Greg |

|
The 58 Pontiacs were the best GMs that year but in my eyes they don't compare to the 57s or 59s
That's a bad ass wagon though |
