Car ID sought

[Roadrunner]

OK, fellas, I snatched this image somewhere (perhaps here, I don't really recall), and have no idea what the car may be. I'm guessing 60's something, but that's about as far as I get. Any ideas?

[Deano]

I believe it's a 57 Cadillac.

I believe he is correct.

[espo]

Ditto, and the fuel filler is behind the driver's side tail light.

[ZTony8]

My call is 1958 Cadillac.

[Russell C]

Has me baffled.

[Roadrunner]

Cool, thanks, guys. I'll look up both 57 and 58 Cadillac, and see what I come up with.

[landman]

It is a 57 and is missing the louvres in the exhaust opening. The 58 is similar but has an "eyebrow" over the round lights.

Yup, '57 Cadillac.

And once you see "The Scream" you can never un-see it!

Excellent, thanks very much, Dan. It's amazing to me how much I don't know about older cars.

Exactly. I'm stuck with it now.

[Roadrunner]

Exactly. I'm stuck with it now.

Me too.

The '58's face is a bit friendlier, and resembles a certain cartoon dog:

Stop it guys!

You're beginning to make me really want a nice '57/'58 Caddy kit!!

While we're at it, how about the Mercedes clown face?

Again, once you see it...

My dad bought a 57 Cadillac in about 62: pink with a gray interior. Ugliest car he ever owned in my opinion. I hated that thing. That's why in the last few years were everyone got all excited on late 50's pink Cadillacs I just couldn't understand it at all. Another guy in my class parents had the twin to it. We used to moan to each other about our misfortune when somebody would make fun of them.

I owned a '58 Series '62 Coupe in pink.

It wasn't pink, it was coral, "Tahitian Coral" to be exact, with a black top & a tri-tone pink black & rose colored interior.

Absolutely beautiful in my opinion.

Everybody's taste is different, but I'll bet that if you had that pink '57 today, you would be the envy of everybody in town.

 

This is not a photo of mine, but you'll get the general idea.

The only reason I would want it is because I could probably sell it quick for a pocketful of cash. Didn't like those big late 50's American cars then, don't like them now.  But as you say everybody's taste is different.

[Roadrunner]

Nice photos, guys, and yes, that pink Cadillac, is most certainly gorgeous.
