1957 was a beautiful year across the board. Generally two or three years of a car had some similarity but '57 was very much a "one-off" year from almost every manufacturer including Packard and Studebaker. There was a similar appearance to all the makes in the GM lines and sure enough that carried over into the "one-off" looks in '57.

Although the '57 Chevy is best remembered and known, Pontiac, Olds, and Buick had a great look....even Caddy!   The Studebaker Golden Hawk in that time was a classic and let's not forget the '57 Corvette FI "Fuelie".

The early 50's was filled with rather monstrous and clunky looking cars. The styling studios took over by '57 but went over the edge by 1959.
