Oh yea, it's perfection! It's only flaw, and in this case it is minor, is that it's white. Put any other color to it and it's perfection to a tee.

I respect your opinion George, but that Olds is $#&@%$# SPECTACULAR in white!!
The car is Spectacular as has been said above. The only change I would make is to put on stock steel painted wheels with Fiesta wheel covers.
Like many of us I have this Brooklin model in all white and love it. The 2-tone Goldvarg will look great beside it on display.
A solid color is nice but two tone was the way to go in 1957. Like many of the cars from this era, two-tone paint color separation across the body was a major styling focus and was promoted. Whatever floats one's boat as they say.

@sizedoesmatter I tend to agree with you John but my gosh there were so many beautiful choices for this car in both color versions. The 50s were the best for wide ranges and choices of color.
Yes Jack, two-tone was nice...certainly nothing bad about a solid color.

@sizedoesmatter The trim placement of this era in all American cars really accentuated the 2-tone contrast; 1955 thru '59 in particular. The new Goldvarg Olds is a great example, with its red trim accent.
It's always been that split rear window that has rocked me. I love it! And thankfully it was just a one year design, because that adds to the uniqueness of the '57 Oldsmobile. It's a killer styling look! And though the low-end Buicks for '57 shared that split rear window, it wasn't quite as cool as it was on the Olds.

The first Oldsmobile I ever liked. It is #2 in my Olds ranking, right behind the #1 '62 Starfire. I prefer mono color, but tu-tone is good.
@brush we share the same love for the same Oldsmobile's and in the same order. I owned two 62's, and they are my favorite owned cars.
