New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Hmm. this looks more like a Jada style issue than a HW, especially the stance and front view. |

I can admit it looks a bit low, but that it a styling trend. Not sure I could equate with Jada though. Better Jada perhaps, but run of the mill out proportioned Jada...no. These Caddys were simply huge monsters, and those body lines are tolerably accurate. Something I've noted in the past to myself is how Caddy styling seemed to precede the rest of GM by about a year. This is a 57, but a lot of the design cues were copied by Buick and Oldsmobile (and a lesser extent Pontiac and Chevy) starting in 58. |

I'm not much on American cars of the 50's. As a child of the 80's, these were the cars that my parent's generation lusted after so that made them less cool to me. I've since come to respect and like a great many of them, but gravitate toward the more luxurious cars like Cadillac and Lincoln or the more obscure, like Studebaker. No offense to the many that like them, but cars like 57 Chevy's don't do much for me as it seems every kid I knew had a parent, grandparent, uncle or neighbor with one. This on the other hand, even as a kid would have turned my head. As an adult, I'd take one of these in a heartbeat if given the opportunity. |

Wow! As the former owner of a '57 Coupe de Ville, I'd love to have a few of these. |
