This full-color advertising brochure was in my Dad's items from his automotive clients. It is a very cool Dodge publication talking about and illustrating all the great features and advantages of the 1957 Swept-Wing Dodge.
Always loved '57 Dodges. I owned a Coronet Lancer 4-dr hardtop for many years.
This 4drht. is a body style that I haven't see for very many years; so many more 2drht. examples around. The gold/white color combo really suits this car IMO.
@jack-dodds Thanks Jack, yes people seem to really like that car. I was looking for a something else when I stumbled across this...Â
I didn't really want a 4-door, but the car was too nice to pass up. It had been ordered as a true heater-delete car (no window defrost either ) in CA. It was then shipped to Hawaii. One of the cleanest, rust-free-original metal, collector cars I ever owned.

No, not really... as I really don't collect four doors, but I've made a few exceptions...this being one of them. The car was, however, virtually trouble-free during the 11 years I owned it. I had the radiator re-built/re-cored, and I replaced the non-working horns, that was about it.Â
I drove it as much as possible and even managed to have in MI one year for their Woodward Dream Cruise event (there's video ).... and while parked, another Forum member (who I didn't know was also in MI ) was taking pictures and inadvertently captured my Dodge in the background.
Great ! Those Swept-Wing Dodges during those years were good-looking and exceptionally cool automobiles. They look sensational in those brochures and advertisements and are wonderful to actually see in person.
inspired me to order a 57 Dodge brochure on eBay.Â
Mark,
When I had my '57 I acquired all sorts of brochures, promotional items, ads, etc...  One of my favorites is the actual newspaper ad for NEW 1957 Plymouths & Dodges, it still hangs in my garage.Â
@jack-dodds I did not realize that it was a 4 door car when I first glanced at the photos. The rear door handles are disguised into the chrome, so it looked like a 2 door to me.
Not a 1957 Dodge four door hardtop but a 43rd scale Milestone Miniatures 1959.  It came with a white lower color but I made it factory correct with the turquoises lower section.  Took me a long time to find this model.
