Anybody got pics or kool stories 'bout this one?
Nothing huh? Oh well, nevermind.:(
Looks like 5 louvers on the front fender. Wonder if they are original style or punched.....
check the HAMB. Somebody has the car and it was in primer and beginning to be redone.

Bob, you seem to have some sort of interest in this car. What is it? Did you or someone you know own it? To me it looks like a pretty average 57 sedan. What's unusual about it? Seems like I remember seeing it in a magazine at some point, but it wasn't something that made me say "wow".
I have to agree, nothing to extraordinary to be a hot conversation topic.
It's just one of my favorite '57s. After HRM gave it away in the summer of '84 it seemed to have disappeared. Then about a year ago it surfaced. virtually intact. All the numbers matching pieces accounted for and in good shape. I was 16 when HRM started the build. And for me it was a beacon in the sea of jacked-up, red, vette rallied, tri-5s that were the norm at the time. Did I mention RED? To this day red is my least favorite color on a tri-5. As to interest of topic, I was curious as to why the tri-5 groups seemed to shun the car. It's #s matching '57 parts with exception of the tranny(which is a T-10 B/W),wheels & paint.The restoration was over the top for 1984. I guess it wasn't the "in" thing at the time or now. Anyways, thanks for your responses. And everyone have a safe & Happy Newyear!!! Bob
