Staying with the late 50s Mopar models -- here's a look at one of DMs '57 Chrysler 300s.

1957 Chrysler 300C Convertible in Gauguin Red -- 50th Anniversary Limited Edition.

Have it, love it!  Both DM and FM gave us drop-dead gorgeous '57 Chrysler's.  I have them all.  GREAT photos John!

You know, for what my opinion is worth, I think the '57 Chrysler's had the best looking fins of any other 50's car.  They didn't look tacked on and flowed perfectly from the sides of the car.

They were pretty darn impressive. One of my favorites as well, especially for that size of car. I also love the fins, from that same year, on the Thunderbird; more diminutive for its body scale.
