impcon Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 That is one gorgeous car!! Can't say as I have ever seen a '57 in that colour combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggon Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 A hot rod 4-door with three on the tree, fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 That is a nice color combo on that car. Would make a cool model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hamilton Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 That very car was in last month's Hemming's Muscle amchines. I wonder who is going to be the first to build something like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Cool car and a great survivor. Still it would be cooler if it was actually used in the moonshine trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Good luck to the dealer - they've been trying to flog this thing for $89,900 on eBay for months now. Nice thing is there have been a ton of detailed photos of the car online, and I was able to show them to my uncle who said the upholstery patterns matched his '57 Fairlane town sedan which I'm building. (His wasn't supercharged; he just stuffed a 406 4-speed in it and went street racing.) Here's a link to the last Ebay auction; grab the photos while you can: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hemmings-Motor-News-Feature-Car-/181588449072?vxp=mtr Edited January 10, 2015 by ChrisBcritter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordairgtar Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 To have the only supercharged four door made would be awesome....but not at the expected prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Right! I wouldn't give a dime over $89,000 for that car! But if it had a "Buy It Now" for $15,000 I would've already hit the button! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmate Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Great colour combo and rare to boot. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 If anyone wants additional info on this car, I just finished reading the January #137 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines. They had 5 pages on the history and restoration of this car. Interesting history and lots of good pictures for reference for a possible build.
